Era (stylized ERA on radio, formerly Era FM until 2017)[1] is a Malaysian Malay-language radio station operated by Astro Audio. The radio station broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from Astro Radio's Bukit Jalil headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
Era began in 1996 as an exclusive audio channel for Astro satellite users, before migrating to the FM band on 1 August 1998. Since its launch, it has played a wider mixture of music from the 1980s to present, and covers Malaysian and international pop genres. It also operates part-time opt-outs from Kuala Lumpur for audiences in Sabah and Sarawak, which downsized its respective local operations since 2023.[2]
In 2015, as according to Nielsen RAM Survey Wave #1, Era FM maintained its position as Malaysia's leading Malay-language station with over 4.8 million listeners.[3]
