History※
Plans for launching the then-unnamed Mandarin radio station were announced at the official launch of Power 98 in October 1994, "aiming at the Mandarin-speaking majority of the servicemen."
Also known as Dongli 88.3, "the radio station complements its English radio station Power 98." At launch it played contemporary music from the 1980s with some backtracking——to the mid-to-late 1980s. Like Power 98, it targets listeners aged 18 to 35 who are national servicemen.
Test transmissions of the 88.3 frequency leading to its launch date were made between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
883Jia was then relaunched in 2007 as Singapore's only bilingual station, playing both Mandarin and English songs.
