The station was initially launched by Jason Cottam and the DJ Fly Guy (Saufian Mokhtar).
From 26 June 2011 onwards, Phat Fabes and Ben were moved to the evening slot, and the morning show was renamed The Pagi Rock Crew (named after LMFAO's hit song "Party Rock Anthem").
In 2015, Ben's retirement led to the formation of a new morning slot called the #FlyWolfPack consisting of Hafiz, Dennis and Guibo.
In 2017, after Dennis left, the morning show was renamed Fly FM's Hafiz and Guibo.
On 30 July 2021, Douglas Lim joined Ili for Fly FM's Breakfast Show.
