The station launched on 18 July 1969 as Radio Television Singapore's "FM Stereo Service"; its format initially featured classical and easy listening music.

"Light and pop music" aired for 12 hours instead of three,[2] consisting of "middle-of-the-road, country and western, easy pops and light jazz" and no hard rock.

[5] The AM simulcasts of all SBC radio stations ended on 1 January 1994.

[9] In August 1995, to increase listenership and revenue, 92.4 removed most of its classical music and added "light pops"; however the move was disliked by listeners.

[10] 92.4 later decided to air classical music in two slots – 6 to 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. [11] (becoming 2 to 4 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends in October, with the 12 to 2 p.m. portion added in November),[12] with the rest of the broadcast day filled with "quality music" including Broadway music, light orchestral, solo instrumental and jazz.
