TraXX FM (formerly known as Blue Network, Radio 4 and Radio Malaysia Saluran 4 (English: Radio Malaysia Channel 4)) is an English-language radio station operated by Radio Televisyen Malaysia. TraXX FM started broadcasting on 1 January 1950 as the Blue Network and the station broadcast nationwide as well as to neighbouring Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and Thailand. Currently, the station operates 24-hours a day, with the news at every hour.

History

The current name was in use since April 2005, as a part of rebranding of RTM's radio stations. It is Malaysia's only English radio station until the 1990s.

TraXX FM is the only Malaysian radio station that pioneered English as the medium for delivering its programmes when it started as Blue Network, Radio 4 and Radio Malaysia Saluran 4 and the station also played an important role to educate, inform, and to entertain listeners.

'TRAXX' derives from the word TRACK and the XX denotes the old tagline Xperience the Xcitement. TraXX FM's tagline is Travel and Music after re-branding to a tourism radio station.

Some of the DJ's in the station include Par, Otto, Naj, Jezza, Priscilla Da Killa, Fad Da Dilly O, Double D, Najee, Roundhead, Mary, Lee Shaun and Pei

As with all its sister channels, TraXX FM broadcasts the news every hour.
