[edit] Removed Shows
- 987 Top 100 Special Category Nominations during the countdown where listeners could vote for their favourite artistes to win. There were 10 awards in total and listeners could send in several SMSes to vote for the nominees, or vote once for each of the 10 awards through a link in the 987FM website. These 10 awards were namely the 987 Male Artiste of the Year, 987 Female Artiste of the Year, 987 Band of the Year, 987 Local Act of the Year, 987 Best New Artiste of the Year, 987 Concert Of The Year, 987 R&B/Hip-Hop Artiste of the Year, 987 Rock Act of the Year, 987 Local Song of the Year and lastly, the 987 Album of the Year. However, the Special Category Nominations segment has been removed since the 987FM 2008 Top 100 Countdown.
- 987 Top 20 Countdown Special: For a few years before this specialised show was removed, Dan and/or Young (hosts of the 987FM Top 20 Countdown before mid-2008 - Young joined the show only in January 2007) compiled a list of all the hits that peaked at #1 on the 987 Top 20 Countdown from late November of the previous year, to late November of the current year, as a special edition of the 987 Top 20 Countdown. The Number One Hits would be played consecutively and in sequence according to the date it peaked at #1, but were only played once even though they were Number One for 2 weeks or more. This happened on the last Friday of December of every year, and was repeated on the last Sunday of December of that year, regardless of whether the Friday or Sunday was New Year's Eve. This specialised radio show was created prior to the 987 Top 100 Countdown which happens on New Year's Eve annually and it was also a prelude to the Top 100 Countdown. However, after the Muttons to Midnight (Justin Ang & Vernon A.) took over the Top 20 Countdown, this specialised radio show has been removed.
- 987 US Top 20: Used to be aired every Saturday from 11am to 12pm by Justin Ang. It featured the Top 20 songs in the United States, based on Radio & Records. It was removed in June 2008.
- 987 Ultimate: Used to be aired every Saturday from 11pm to 12pm by Carrie Chong. It featured the top 10 songs that best suits a particular mood / occasion. Replaced by 987 Club.
- 987 Control: Used to be aired every Sunday 1pm to 2pm, a listener who had sent in an SMS in a particular format would be selected to host his or her own show for 1 hour with Rosalyn Lee (Rozz). The DJ in "Control" would be able to choose and play his or her songs during the show.
- 987 Control DJ Championships: Used to be aired every Mon-Thur from 7pm to 8pm during the Dan & Young show. The programme was aimed to recruit people who were interested to join 987 due to a lack of manpower in 2006. Contestants hosted the show, either alone or in pairs, and judged on their performance. The winner would be a full-time DJ on 987FM. The eventual winner was Desiree Lai.
- 987 Fashion: Updates on fashion; hosted by Carrie Chong. Presented in a News and Update format.
- 987 Home: Used to be aired every Sunday from 11pm to 12pm by Rozz and Soo. Only local music was played. Local singers and their gigs would be introduced. The show used to be hosted by Daniel Ong from 3.00PM to 4.00PM on Saturdays before Soo took over in February 2006. Changed to a News and Update format in April 2009 (see above).
- DJ WARS was a special show that aired during Nokia Comes With Music week (13/4/09 - 17/4/09). DJs competed in teams of two, with Daniel Ong as the game master. The teams were AM Mayhem (Van and Young), Des and Soo, Shan and Rozz, and the Muttons (Justin and Vernon). Listeners were invited to vote for the team which they think would win. Every day after the round-robin round, the winning team would pick a winner out of those who voted for them to win a Nokia headset. The two teams which had the most wins (Van/Young and Shan/Rozz) moved on to the finals, where the winning team picked a winner out of those who voted for them to win a Nokia 5800 Comes With Music phone.
The eventual winning team was Van and Young, followed by Shan and Rozz, the Muttons, and Des and Soo.
- Chill Central: Soothing music (similar to those of the melted theme of 987 Generations) is played during the exam period (October-November) with the aim of helping students who are studying for exams to relax. This segment came back in 2009 during the Shan and Rozz Show, Muttons to Midnight, and Late Night Delight with the support of the Health Promotion Board, where the DJs shared study tips and a soothing song was played.
