History
Plans for Power 98 were announced in January 1994 at the opening of Safra Resort and Country Club, with a start-up cost of $3.3 million from the Ministry of Defence. The station targeted male listeners aged 18 to 35, considered an under-served market.[2] It initially recruited seven deejays,[3] all in their twenties, with experience in hosting programs at private events and nightclubs.[2] Power 98 broadcast from 6 am to 12 am, with music comprising four-fifths of its programming, mainly hits from the 1980s and 1990s, alongside news, defence-related information, and entertainment segments.[2][3] A bilingual lunch-time show, Power Lunch,[3] allowed listeners to request Mandarin songs.[2] The station launched on 31 October 1994 at 7 am, officiated by Minister Lee Boon Yang.[3]
On 19 March 2012, Power 98 underwent its first major revamp in 18 years, adopting the slogan "Hear The Difference," with a new lineup of DJs and programs. In 2019, it rebranded as Power 98 Love Songs, alongside two internet radio services: Power 98 Raw (contemporary hits) and Power 98 Retro (adult hits).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Effective 30 October 2025, Power 98 and it's sister station 88.3 Jia will cease transmissions on FM band as both stations moved to the newly rebranded 'Kakee' app.[4]
