Class 95 is an English-language radio station in Singapore. Owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, it broadcasts a hot adult contemporary format. The station launched on 1 April 1990.

History

In December 1989, Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) announced plans for two new radio stations to launch in 1990 in honour of its 10th anniversary and Singapore's 25th anniversary; a Mandopop station on 93.3 (serving as a Chinese counterpart to the recently-launched English pop station Perfect 10), and an unnamed "MOR" station.

The new MOR station launched on 1 April 1990 as Class 95, carrying an adult contemporary format targeting an "upmarket" audience. The station's positioning was exemplified by pre-launch television commercials, which featured imagery of luxury goods such as champagne and jewellery. "Class" was one of three names considered by SBC for the station, alongside "Light" and "Heart".
