Radio Singapore International (abbrev: RSI; Chinese: 新加坡国际广播电台 Pinyin: Xīnjiāpō Guójì Guǎngbō Diàntái; ) was the official international broadcasting station of Singapore and the largest radio international broadcasting company in Singapore existing from 1 January 1994 to 31 December 2001. The predecessor of MediaCorp Radio successor of the radio broadcasting arm of the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) was privatised on 1 January 1994 at 00:00 am (UTC+8) in conjunction with New Years' Day 1994 at midnight into three individual companies, one of which was TCS and RCS. RCS subsequently went through a group restructure under the SIM Group of Companies based parent by Singapore International Media (SIM) on 1 January 2002 and became MediaCorp Radio.

Radio Singapore International (RSI) was a shortwave radio station that broadcast out of Singapore. The station which was run by Radio Corporation of Singapore (RCS) now MediaCorp Radio broadcast in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Malay and Indonesian.

The English service operated on shortwave between 1100hrs - 1400hrs UTC daily on 6080 kHz and 6150 kHz (49m Band). A "Live" audio stream was also available on its website. Its signal was carried "Live" for an hour daily on Singapore's main English news station 938LIVE (FM 93.8 MHz).

RSI's news and current affairs programming cover financial, economic, and political developments around the world, but primarily around Southeast Asia.

RSI's lifestyle programmes cover a variety of areas, from culture and travel to the Internet and technology. Music played on the station ranges from classic and oldies, to contemporary and easy listening.

Sakuntala Gupta was Senior Programme Director of RSI (English).

Past producers/presenters of RSI's English service were: Bharati Jagdish, who now helms a very successful morning show on MediaCorp Radio 938 LIVE, Melanie Yip, Loretta Foo, Michael Darren Tan, Jason Tan and Shereena Sajeed.

Past contributors of RSI were: William Xavier, Janadas Devan, Chris Ho, and Mike Kellerman.

On 1 January 2005, RSI (English) also launched a microsite which features articles covering a range of issues related to travel, entertainment and controversial socio-political issues.

Radio Singapore International Video

This was recorded early evening (around 8:30PM local). So far we've seen Firedrake messing around with Mandarin language stations - which makes sense, I guess. But why jam an English station? I could half understand China wanting to keep outside information from getting in, but this thing is taking over whatever it wants. It's interesting that the station was able to make it over Firedrake this strongly. The jammer usually dominates its target. When recording, I heard the announcer mention the words 'democratic', 'regulations' and 'government' - maybe that was enough for Firedrake's operators to shoot their jammer off at it. At the 1.40 mark you can hear the music piece fire up, letting you know that the jammer is taking flight.
