Kool FM is a Malaysian private radio station owned by Media Prima Berhad, which broadcasts in the Malay language. It was launched on 1 March 2016 and targets listeners from the country's Generation X,[1] with songs being played mostly from the 1980s and 1990s, but it also includes some songs from the early 2000s including songs from 2010s.[2] It is the fourth radio station of the Media Prima company after Hot FM, Fly FM and One FM. Based on what are they playing, the name is based on the band Kool and the Gang.[3]
