On 19 April 1971, Radio Malaysia became the first radio station to broadcast 24 hours a day, nationwide, thus becoming Rangkaian Nasional ( National Network) in the process. A second TV station also opened in the same year as its rebranding. Thus Radio Malaysia and Televisyen Malaysia's identities merged to become Radio Televisyen Malaysia ( RTM).

Television services under the name Televisyen Malaysia or Malaysia Television (Malaysia TV) started on 28 December 1963 in time for the national New Year celebrations in Kuala Lumpur and regional telecasts in the Klang Valley in Selangor state, with its first studios being located in Jalan Ampang. It would be later renamed Radio Malaysia on 16 September 1963 with the transmissions beginning with its trademark words Inilah Radio Malaysia (This is Radio Malaysia) on the day the Malaysia of today was born. With the independence of Malaya on 31 August 1957 Radio Malaya was split into two separate stations the original studios in Singapore was taken over by a new station called Radio Singapura and Radio Malaya moved to Kuala Lumpur going on air from the new location on 1 January 1959. The transmitters were located first in Singapore and later in Kuala Lumpur (opened in 1950). The first two radio stations are Radio Malaya (in Malay) and The Blue Network (in English).
