It was developed further by commercial companies until it was nationalised by the colonial government in response to the threat of World War II breaking out in Southeast Asia. During the Japanese Occupation of Singapore (1942–45), radio functioned mostly as a channel for propaganda. Public radio services made a postwar recovery under the British Military Administration, which lasted until the colony’s return to civilian rule in April 1946. | [Radio broadcasting in Singapore (1924–46)] -- Interwar Singapore (1924-42) -- Japanese Occupation (1942-45) -- British Military Administration (1945-46) -- Author -- References. | Radio broadcasting--Singapore--History | Communications {18486485} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | All rights reserved.

The establishment of Radio Malaya in 1946 and its successor Radio Singapore in 1959 expanded local infrastructure and manpower capabilities in radio broadcasting and programming. Listenership increased in tandem, and the radio set soon became ubiquitous in households. Up until the arrival of television in 1963, radio played a key role in the dissemination of general and government information, providing entertainment, educating audiences and strengthening communities. | [Radio broadcasting in Singapore (1946–65)] -- Radio broadcasting under Radio Malaya (1946–56) -- English programmes -- Malay programmes -- Chinese programmes -- Indian programmes -- School broadcasting -- Broadcasting during the Malayan Emergency -- Broadcasting under Radio Singapore (1959-65) -- Author -- References -- Further references. | Radio broadcasting--Malaysia--History|Radio broadcasting--Singapore--History|Radio programs--Malaysia--History|Radio programs--Singapore--History | Communications {18486485}|Radio (programmes) {18337925} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.
