Plans for launching the then-unnamed Mandarin radio station was announced at the official launch of Power 98 in October 1994, aiming at the Mandarin-speaking majority of the servicemen.^[4]

Also known as Power 88.3,^[1] 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. ^[1] Like Power 98, it targets listeners aged 18 to 35 who are national servicemen.^[1]

Test transmissions of Power 88.3 leading to its launch date were made between 8 am and 9 pm.^[1]
