[Singapore DXing]: The day after Lush PART2: What music that Money FM 89.3MHz shall play?

Lush FM 99.5MHz was death since 1st September 2017, no independent music radio station by Singapore, but 938NOW is playing independent music partially to "pay respect" of Lush FM 99.5MHz.

After the death of Lush FM 99.5MHz, Singapore will have two new radio stations on January 2018, but they are under Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).

- 96.3 Hao 好FM: Singapore Chinese senior-oriented radio station
- Money FM 89.3MHz: Singapore's first English business radio station

Currently Singapore Press Holdings SPH operates 3 radio stations, there are:

1. One FM 91.3MHz: Playing English classic hits and mainstream rock songs (to answer Gold FM 90.5MHz)

2. UFM 100.3MHz: Singapore hot contemporary Chinese radio station (to answer YES 933)

3. Kiss FM 92.0MHz: Playing English adult contemporary hits and mainstream songs from 1980s till now (to answer Class 95, 987FM, and Malaysia's Mix FM/Hitz FM/Fly FM)

938NOW plays independent music partially with mainstream music like 987 and Class 95, meanwhile 987FM plays hot mainstream hits... So, where are independent music going again?

In my opinion, Money FM 89.3MHz is a business radio station, also covering topics of current affairs, documentaries and entrepreneurs to target PMEBs (Professionals, Managers, Executives, and Businessmen/Businesswomen). About its music playlist which aired on non-talk programming hours, plus Lush FM was death, I suggest and hope Money FM 89.3MHz will play Singaporean indie music like what Lush FM did to support local independent artists.

Since Kiss 92 plays mainstream music, One FM 91.3 plays classic hits and rock, so Money FM shall feature independent music to keep distance away from mainstream music. This can give another alternative to listeners, plus this can support Singaporean local independent music industry.

Lush FM 99.5MHz was killed by MediaCorp and its elements are merged into 938NOW partially. What I hope is 938NOW and Money FM 89.3MHz will continue the spirit of Lush 99.5FM. 

Anyway, waiting for the launching of Money FM. We wish them good luck! Have a nice day always. Support Money FM 89.3MHz features Singaporean local independent music during non-talk programming hours.
