BFM 89.9 is Malaysia’s only independent radio station, focusing on business news and current affairs. BFM’s purpose is to build a better Malaysia by championing rational, evidence-based discourse as a key element of good policy decisions.

BFM 89.9 is a recent addition to Malaysia’s FM radio landscape. It first went on air on 4 September 2008 and professes to be Malaysia’s first business radio station. Despite its tagline of “The Business Station”, the station offers a mix of business and non-business programming. It’s business programmes include international and local business news headlines, stock market reports and interviews with corporate personalities and start-ups. Its non-business programming includes interviews with protagonists on personal and professional development, health, and the arts. In August 2009, BFM made its foray into sports programming by launching live Premier League football games on the radio.
