History

The station was initially known as WKRZ in Mediawork. After a merger of media companies in Singapore, WKRZ 91.3 had a change in name together with sister station UFM 1003. Both of them added the word 'Radio' in front of their frequency, and that had been their names for the past decade.

In January 2013, popular DJs The Married Men were dropped due to content deemed inappropriate during a morning "Kena Pluck" segment during the Morning Drive Time show. They were replaced with the current group of DJs.[3]

In January 2015, HOT FM91.3 underwent a major revamp. It was rebranded ONE FM 91.3, with its new slogan "Real Music". The revamp is most notable for changing the station's stated genre, which was originally Contemporary Hit Radio station to one that is focused on being a Rock Music station. DJ Charmaine Yee crossed over from HOT FM91.3 to sister station Kiss 92 FM, while DJs Melody Chen and Desiree Lai crossed over from Kiss 92FM to ONE FM 91.3. Meanwhile, Part-Time Pete joins ONE FM in the mornings.
