The station is extremely popular in Malaysia where its Hitz.fm Morning Crew was once the most heard programmes on radio when it was hosted by Lil Kev and FlyGuy, perhaps two of the most popular radio DJs in Malaysia. The Morning Crew has since changed several times and has continued to attract its own following and listeners.
Hitz.fm was originally known as HITZ FM before it was rebranded to hitz.fm in 2001 to be associated with the internet. As reflected in the name of the station, this media is extremely popular among the young and contemporary crowd which plays the latest hits throughout the day.
