History
Perfect Ten 98.7FM (1989-2005)
Perfect Ten 98.7FM was launched on 1 January 1989 at the stroke of midnight SST as a 24-hour radio station that plays English language hit songs.[1][2] The station started with ten DJs and broadcast from Caldecott Broadcast Centre. Its first programme was "Ring is the New Year" a link-up with Radio 1 to usher in the new year.
The name Perfect 10 (also known as Radio 10) was selected because the primary aim of the station was to carry Top 10 music and the musical selection was from the past decade.[3][4] SBC advised that it would take two weeks for listener feedback to readjust the station.[5]
987FM (2005-now)
Perfect Ten 98.7FM became 987 on 27 June 2005. 987's studio moved out of Caldecott Broadcast Centre on 19 July 2010 and it broadcast from *SCAPE along Orchard Road at 2 Orchard Link for three years. 987 moved back to Caldecott Broadcast Centre on 20 May 2013 after its tenancy with *SCAPE expired.
In March 2010, it was announced that former beauty queen, Ris Low, would be joining the co-hosting the Shan and Rozz show.[6] There was some outrage among listeners over the employment of her as DJ due to her poor command and diction of English.[6] On the first day of co-hosting the show, Low arrived late and left early for the show and Rozz stormed off the studio after an argument.[7] On 1 April, It was later revealed that it was an April Fools' Day joke by the show and Burger King in an advertising campaign for Burger King's Angry Whooper.[7]
In March 2012, Shan Wee left 987 in February 2012, a 'ManHunt' was conducted to find a replacement for Rozz's co-host on the morning show. Listeners were invited to audition for the spot from 12 to 16 March 2012 and were told that they stood a chance of getting a spot on 987. However, it turned out that Rozz's new co-host is Bobby Tonelli from neighbour radio station, Class 95FM. It was speculated that the auditions were a waste of time and effort and simply just an advertising strategy to gain more listenership.[8][9]
On 17 January 2017, 987 studio moved out of Caldecott Broadcast Centre and into new Mediacorp Campus, Mediapolis @ one-north.

Music
987 adopts the Contemporary Hit Radio format with the majority of the playlist consisting of music from the 2010s along with a minority of hits from the late 2000s.
On New Year's Eve annually there will be a countdown of the year's biggest hits on 987, played out over a 10-hour period with a repeat on New Year's Day.
Incidents
In May 2007, The Muttons were suspended for a while due to their participation in No Bra Day, an activity that was sponsored by FHM Singapore and featured young models competing to see who could remove their bras in the fastest time possible. A video taken in the studio was posted on YouTube and the resulting uproar from viewers forced the station to pay S$9,800 to the Media Development Authority of Singapore for 'inappropriate and offensive content'. Muttons in the Morning was then replaced with The Dan and Young Show. They soon came back to 987FM in July 2007 for the late night slot show, now called Muttons To Midnight.[10]
In July 2009, Chew Soo Wei, was sacked by the programming director, Daniel Ong, over alleged claims of failing to put on an American accent and issues with proficiency of the English language. Listeners expressed disdain that it was unfair for DJs with local accents to be discriminated while DJs who speak with an American accent receive preferential treatment.[11]
