History
Station launch and early days
The station began as UFM 1003 on 3 October 2001, as a station under UnionWorks, a 50-50 joint venture between SPH and NTUC Media. Its target audience is aged 25 to 39.
Post-media merger and rebranding to Radio 1003
Singapore saw a media merger at the end of 2004, with SPH’s television operations SPH MediaWorks taken over by MediaCorp.
In 2009, SPH launched the inaugural Singapore Entertainment Awards (新加坡e乐大赏). The annual rewards honored the best talents in the Singapore and Asian entertainment scene.
Rebranding to UFM100.
Radio 1003’s name was reverted to UFM100.3 in 2012, with the slogan “UFM100.3 是生活” (UFM100.3 is life). Programming was adjusted to cater to its core audience aged 35 to 49.
In 2014, UFM100.3’s parent company SPH UnionWorks was renamed SPH Radio, as SPH acquired the remaining 7.1% stake in NTUC Media. The station adopted a new slogan, “UFM100.3 U选好歌，非听不可!” (Playing your favorite songs that you must not miss!).
From January 2015, SPH reorganized its newspaper divisions to include other media forms. Under this restructuring, UFM 100.3 was brought under the Chinese Media Group.
