History

It started broadcasting on 1 January 1950 as the Blue Network. The station used to be branded as the Blue Network, Radio 4 and Radio Malaysia Channel 4. It was Malaysia’s only English language radio station until 1994, in which the control was broken by the launch of TIME Highway Radio. The station’s first tagline was ‘Travel and Music’ after re-branding to a tourism-oriented radio station. It then switched back to “Experience the Excitement” to ensemble its present role as information based radio.

Branding

The name “TraXX” (in use since April 2005, as a part of re-branding of RTM’s radio stations) is derived from the word ‘TRACK’ and ‘XX’, the later denoting the old tagline ‘Xperience the Xcitement’.
