Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – The airasia Super App, in collaboration with Malaysian radio network Astro Radio, have launched a digital radio station called ‘RedRadio’ which will feature a rich and diverse selection of music and culture from across Southeast Asia.

Available through the airasia Super App and SYOK, the collaboration will allow users to access Astro Radio’s 11 radio stations on the airasia Super App via the ‘Listen’ tab for a wide range of music from around the world.

In addition, listeners can also look out for RedRadio collaborations with industry veterans for vast content choices and broadcasting platforms in addition to being able to listen to the latest music from up-and-coming regional artists in the near future.

Rudy Khaw, chief brand officer at airasia Super App, said, “We are excited to be launching RedRadio digital radio station. Music has always been in our DNA and making RedRadio a reality adds on to our foray into the content space. For the past 20 years, we’ve been known to connect the region like no other and we’re taking that a step further today by connecting cultures through music.” 

He added, “As a brand that champions Asean, we hope this creates a new platform for talents to be heard across borders while bringing the region closer together through pop culture. As the Asean Super App, we are also here to inspire and engage.”

RedRadio will also kick-off with an array of AirAsia’s Allstars who will share their experience as they explore popular and hidden gems of food, culture, travel, music and many other topics that are close to heart to the people in the region.

Meanwhile, Kenny Ong, CEO at Astro Radio, commented, “As we continue to diversify our audio offerings, we are thrilled to partner with airasia for the launch of RedRadio, a new online radio brand available for streaming anytime via the SYOK app. We are excited to continue shaping the local audio landscape through our partnerships and hope all Malaysians enjoy the enhanced audio entertainment experience on Astro Radio and SYOK.”
