The station also provides Cantonese, Japanese and Korean music offerings over on their web platform.

==History==
Plans for launching the then-unnamed Mandarin radio station were announced at the official launch of [[Power 98 (radio station)|Power 98]] in October 1994, aiming at the Mandarin-speaking majority of the servicemen.<ref name="launches">{{cite news |title=Safra launches radio station |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19941102-1.2.60.2.4 |access-date=27 January 2024 |work=The Straits Times |date=2 November 1994}}</ref>

Also known as Dongli 88.3,<ref name="more"></ref> the radio station complements its English radio station Power 98. At launch it played contemporary music from the 1980s with some backtracking to the mid-to-late 1980s. <ref name="more"></ref> Like Power 98, it targets listeners aged 18 to 35 who are national servicemen.<ref name="more"></ref>

Test transmissions of the 88.3 frequency leading to its launch date were made between 8:00{{Nbsp}}a.m. and 9:00{{Nbsp}}p.m.<ref name="more"></ref>

883Jia was then relaunched in 2007 as Singapore's only bilingual station, playing both Mandarin and English songs.

Effective 30 October 2025, [[883Jia|88.3 Jia]] and it's sister station [[Power 98 (radio station)|Power 98 Love Songs]] will cease transmissions on FM band as both stations moved to the newly rebranded 'Kakee' app.
