FM99 Sri Lanka is a Sri Lankan radio station. It started broadcasting on 13 June 1993, as the first private radio channel in Sri Lanka, under the license granted to then director Livy Wijemanne. The station broadcasts in three languages on the same channel, at different times of day:

The channel’s English broadcast covers many genres of music, including pop, jazz, and country. Some announcers were from the national Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation, and FM99 also introduced many new radio personalities. The Sinhala broadcast highlighted music from the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s, again introducing new presenters. The Tamil broadcast was on a similar rotation with many interviews covered as well with some eminent personalities. The FM99 studios were located at the Colombo Marriott hotel, now the Galadari, on the second floor. The full office complex was a total of 5 rooms including the transmission area.
