30 years anniversary of Johor based commercial radio station Best FM coverage expansion to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on 104.1MHz (1996-2026)

In 2026, Johor based commercial radio station Best FM celebrates 30 years anniversary of coverage expansion to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on the frequency 104.1MHz, transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali.

Best FM (formerly known as Best 104) is a commercial radio station based in Johor, it was launched in 1989 as Malay and English bilingual radio station. Before 1996, it was only available in Johor, Melaka, South Pahang, Singapore and Negeri Sembilan with 3 transmitters only.

* 104.1MHz: Gunung Pulai (South Johor, Singapore, Batam)

* 94.8MHz: Gunung Ledang (Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Southwest Pahang and part of Selangor) - 10kW transmitter power from 1989 to mid-2000s

* 102.5MHz: Bukit Tinggi (East Johor and Southeast Pahang)

Despite Best FM is a Johor commercial radio station, but it expanded coverage to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on 104.1MHz in 1996. This is because Best FM would like to compete against Time Highway Radio (THR FM) which was very popular across West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia since September 1994. Back then, Best 104 competed against THR FM in English segment.

Until today, Best FM still broadcasts in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on 104.1MHz. Although it focuses mainly in Johor content, but commercially it competes against other mainstream Malay radio stations like Era, Suria FM, Hot FM, Sinar FM and Kool FM, from South Perak to Johor.

Since the coverage expansion of Best FM to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor in 1996, Best FM can be tuned in more locations outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on 104.1MHz by following below:

1. Perak: Tanjung Malim, Slim River, Terolak, Sungkai, Bidor, Tapah, Teluk Intan, Bagan Datuk, Hutan Melintang, Kampung Gajah, Langkap, Chenderiang, Temoh, and part of Sitiawan

2. Negeri Sembilan: Nilai, Seremban, Port Dickson, Mantin, Lukut

3. Pahang: Bentong, Kuala Lipis, Temerloh, Chenor, Maran, Bera, Karak, Lanchang, Merapoh, Mentakab, Jengka and part of Jerantut.

Before the coverage expansion of Best FM in Kuala Lumpur in 1996, Best FM could be received in part of Kuala Lumpur, South Selangor and Negeri Sembilan via high power Gunung Ledang transmitter 94.8MHz which operated at 10kW. Hitz FM launched in Negeri Sembilan on 95.0MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk since 1996, so Best FM 94.8MHz was no longer clearly available in Negeri Sembilan, but newly added 104.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali could be tuned in Negeri Sembilan too. Best FM's listeners in Seremban switched the frequency from 94.8MHz to 104.1MHz since 1997 when 94.8MHz had interference from Hitz FM 95.0MHz.

Best FM 94.8MHz from Gunung Ledang gradually reduced transmitter power from 10kW to 5kW, then 5kW to 2kW. Currently it operates at 2kW power.

Happy 30 years anniversary to Best FM for the coverage expansion to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor (1996-2026).

Although Kuala Lumpur is not located within Pahang state, but why is RTM Pahang FM 107.5MHz still available in Klang Valley?

In Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley areas, RTM state radio stations are generally available with KL FM 97.2MHz and Selangor FM 100.9MHz, meanwhile Gunung Telapak Buruk transmitted Negeri Sembilan radio station Negeri FM 92.6MHz is weakly available in Kuala Lumpur, but Pahang FM is also receivable in Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley.

Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia, some people may ask why Pahang FM can be tuned in Kuala Lumpur, despite Kuala Lumpur is not located in Pahang state.

This is because RTM Pahang FM has a transmitter in Gunung Ulu Kali on the frequency 107.5MHz, but the main intended coverage is West Pahang such as Temerloh, Bentong, Karak, Chenor, Bera, Selancar, Keratong, and Lipis.

West Pahang areas highly relies on Gunung Ulu Kali radio transmitter because Bukit Pelindung, Bukit Senggora, Bukit Sulai and Bukit Istana transmitters cannot be received there. Gunung Ulu Kali is located in Genting Highlands, Pahang, it is a very strategic transmitter site in Central Region of Peninsular Malaysia. 

Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter mainly covers Kuala Lumpur and Selangor for most of the radio stations, but Pahang FM 107.5MHz does not target Kuala Lumpur and Selangor as it focuses only in West Pahang.

Although RTM Pahang FM 107.5MHz is available in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, but the signal is not clear because its transmitting antenna in Gunung Ulu Kali beams signal towards east direction to cover West Pahang only with directional antenna. It is same as RTM Johor FM 105.3MHz in Gunung Ledang, despite Gunung Ledang transmitter covers Melaka and North Johor, but RTM Johor FM 105.3MHz covers only North Johor (Tangkak, Muar, Segamat and North Batu Pahat) with directional antenna by beaming signal towards south direction from Gunung Ledang, but it does not cover Melaka, so RTM Johor FM 105.3MHz has co-channel interference from Suria FM 105.3MHz Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter in most of Melaka areas.

According to Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), Kuala Lumpur and Selangor are the bonus coverage of RTM Pahang FM 107.5MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter, despite these regions are not its intended coverage.

Some people even compare this with Best FM 104.1MHz in Kuala Lumpur. Best FM is a Malay language commercial radio station from Johor, then he or she asks whey RTM Johor FM does not expand coverage in Klang Valley like Best FM.

Same as Pahang FM, RTM Johor FM is a state public radio station from Radio Televisyen Malaysia serving Johor only. RTM Johor FM is not a commercial radio station like Best FM. If RTM does such way to expand coverage of Johor FM to Klang Valley, RTM wastes the transmission fees in non-targeting region, even it can cannibalize other radio stations' positions in Klang Valley, notably KL FM and Selangor FM. RTM restricts several state radio stations coverage with directional antenna to prevent cannibalization, so Selangor FM and Pahang FM have different radio reception in Klang Valley because they are using directional antenna in Gunung Ulu Kali to cover different areas.

Selangor FM 100.9MHz only covers Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, meanwhile Pahang FM 107.5MHz is only for West Pahang.

RTM operates 3 state radio stations in Gunung Ledang with directional antennas.

* Melaka FM 102.3MHz covers Melaka only

* Negeri FM 107.7MHz covers Gemas, Tampin, Gemencheh, Simpang Pertang and East Negeri Sembilan areas only.

* Johor FM 105.3MHz only covers North Johor

Although Best FM is a commercial radio station targeting Johor, but it is available in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on 104.1MHz because it expanded the coverage there in 1996 to compete against THR FM (Time Highway Radio) where Best FM also carried English language programs. Until today, Best FM still broadcasts in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, despite it mainly serves Johorean listeners, but it acts as the alternative radio station to the listeners in the regions, so commercially it can compete against Suria FM, Era, Hot FM, Sinar FM etc.

Bukit Djin transmitted Kuching FM radio stations reception in Telok Melano, Sarawak by Cock DXer

 

 

Over the last weekend, Cock DXer conducted radio signal monitoring in Telok Melano, the westernmost point of Sarawak.

 

Previously, he received Sporadic E radio signal of RRI Gorontalo from Gorontalo Province, Indonesia such as PRO-1 FM 101.8MHz/100.3MHz, PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz and PRO-4 FM 95.1MHz.

 

Domestically, only Gunung Serapi transmitted FM radio stations are receivable moderately in Telok Melano, Sarawak such as:

 

1. RTM Radio Klasik FM 92.9MHz

2. RTM Nasional FM 88.1MHz

3. RTM Sarawak FM 88.9MHz

4. RTM Traxx FM 89.9MHz

5. RTM Ai FM 90.7MHz

6. RTM Red FM 91.9MHz

7. RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz

8. RTM Wai FM Bidayuh 106.1MHz

9. Cats FM 99.3MHz

10. Hot FM 94.3MHz

 

However, several Bukit Djin transmitted Kuching radio stations are weakly receivable in Telok Melano like what I tuned in Sematan on 31st August 2025.

 

Cock DXer tuned 6 Bukit Djin transmitted Kuching radio stations in Telok Melano, Sarawak by following below:

 

1. Hitz FM 95.3MHz

 

 

2. Era FM Sarawak 96.1MHz

 

 

3. MY FM 96.9MHz

 

 

4. Mix FM 97.7MHz

 

 

5. Kool FM 104.3MHz

 

 

6. IKIM FM 93.7MHz 

 

 

Receiving distance is 93km from Bukit Djin. From here, Hitz FM 95.3MHz has decent signal in Telok Melano, following by Era FM Sarawak 96.1MHz and MY FM 96.9MHz, meanwhile the rest are very weak.

 

Compare to Sematan where I tuned on 31st August 2025, Bukit Djin radio stations are weaker in Telok Melano.

 

Back to 31st August 2025, I visited Kuching, Serian, Bau and Sematan, but I didn't visit Telok Melano because I only stayed in Kuching for radio DXpedition with 2 days 1 night, then I met a friend in Kuching, so the schedule plan did not allow me to visit Telok Melano. 

Radio stations in Sarikei, Sarawak

From 19th May 2025 to 22nd May 2025, I flied to Sibu and performed radio DXpedition in various locations of Sarawak.

Kanowit was the my first location to have breakfast and radio DXpedition after landing at Sibu Airport. Before having hotel check in at Starlink Hotel in Sibu, I drove to Sarikei town for another radio DXpedition after eating breakfast and conducting radio DXpedition in Kanowit.

In Sarikei, generally I can only tune 7 RTM radio stations and Cats FM from Bukit Kayu Malam transmitter, but I manage to tune Sibu commercial radio stations from Bukit Lima such as Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz, Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz, as well as RTM Wai FM Bidayuh 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi too.

Although there are only 8 local radio stations in Sarikei, but some distant radio stations can be received there moderately and weakly.

* RTM Radio Klasik FM 87.9MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* RTM Nasional FM 90.3MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* RTM Sarawak FM 91.5MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* RTM Traxx FM 92.3MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* RTM Ai FM 93.6MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* RTM Red FM 89.2MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* RTM Sibu FM 94.6MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* Cats FM 96.7MHz (Bukit Kayu Malam)

* Hitz FM 105.1MHz (Bukit Lima)

* MY FM 105.9MHz (Bukit Lima)

* Era FM 96.3MHz (Bukit Lima)

* Tea FM 100.7MHz (Bukit Lima)

* RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz (Gunung Serapi)

Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz, Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz from Bukit Lima are moderately weak in Sarikei, but RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz can be detected weakly there with mild signal.

RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi is the furthest radio station tuned in Sarikei, Sarawak with 158-161 distance.

Overall, excluding RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz, there are 12 radio stations available in Sarikei with inclusion of Bukit Lima transmitted Sibu commercial radio stations.

Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Gorontalo PRO-1 FM 101.8MHz/100.3MHz, PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz and PRO-4 FM 95.1MHz are received in Telok Melano, Sarawak, Malaysia by Cock DXer via Sporadic E propagation

Today on 18th July 2026, the Sarawak radio DXer, known as Cock DXer pays a visit in Telok Melano, Sarawak, Malaysia.

 

Telok Melano is the westernmost point in Kuching Division, Sarawak. Generally and domestically, the radio stations in Telok Melano is covered by Gunung Serapi transmitter, meanwhile Bukit Djin transmitter has weak signal there.

 

3 Indonesia radio stations are captured in Telok Melano, Sarawak, Malaysia, notably FM 92.4MHz, FM 95.1MHz, FM 101.8MHz and FM 100.3MHz.

 

According to Cock DXer, he identifies that FM 92.4MHz, FM 95.1MHz and FM 101.8MHz are Radio Republik Indonesia from Gorontalo.

 

FM 100.3MHz is unknown radio station. As these Indonesia radio stations are based in Gorontalo Province, so I check the frequency FM 100.3MHz within this province, it ends up with Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Gorontalo PRO-1 Bone Bolango Regency repeater.

 

  

FM 101.8MHz is RRI Gorontalo PRO-1. (TX power: 10kW)

 

 

FM 100.3MHz is RRI Gorontalo PRO-1 repeater from Bone Bolango Regency. 

 

 

FM 92.4MHz is RRI Gorontalo PRO-2. (TX power: 3kW)

 

 

FM 95.1MHz is RRI Gorontalo PRO-4. (TX power: 3kW)

 

 

Before catching RRI Gorontalo PRO-1 FM 101.8MHz, Cock DXer attempted to catch RTM Johor FM 101.9MHz from Gunung Pulai transmitter in Telok Melano, Sarawak, but the frequency FM 101.9MHz has adjacent sound from an Indonesia radio station on FM 101.8MHz. 

 

Gorontalo is a city located in Gorontalo Province, Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. RRI Gorontalo is located at Jalan Jend. Sudirman No.30, Wumialo, Kota Tengah Subdistrict, Gorontalo City, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia.

 

The receiving distance from RRI Gorontalo transmitter site to Telok Melano, Sarawak, Malaysia is 1499km, the radio reception of RRI Gorontalo PRO-1 FM 101.8MHz, PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz and PRO-4 FM 95.1MHz are Sporadic E in Telok Melano, meanwhile RRI Gorontalo PRO-1 FM 100.3MHz from Bone Bolango has 1519km distance.

 

Radio Republik Indonesia PRO-1 FM 101.8MHz/100.3MHz, PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz and PRO-4 FM 95.1MHz from Gorontalo become the furthest radio stations tuned in Telok Melano, Sarawak, Malaysia, thus they are Sporadic E propagation. 

RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz from Bukit Setiam is the furthest radio station detected in Saratok, Sarawak.

RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz is a local radio station serving the listeners in Bintulu Division, Sarawak, it is transmitted from Bukit Setiam where is located in Tatau. 

Outside Bintulu Division, RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz is still available in neighboring divisions such as Mukah Division (Mukah, Balingian, Dalat) and Sibu Division (Selangau) on the same frequency. From 2024 to 2025, I was used to tune RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz distantly in Batu Niah, Bekenu, Mukah, Dalat and Sibu with moderate to weak signal.

Bekenu was my furthest location to tune RTM Bintulu 97.5MHz where I did last year in April 2024 with 158km distance. However, a Sarawak radio DXer, known as Cock DXer has created the further receiving distance record by tuning RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz in Saratok, Sarawak today.

Saratok is a town located in Betong Division, Sarawak. In this town, the listeners can tune the radio stations from Sarikei (Bukit Kayu Malam), Kuching (Gunung Serapi) and Sri Aman (Bukit Temudok), however Bukit Setiam transmitted Bintulu radio station is detected there.

Video is recorded near KTES (Kolej Tingkatan Enam Saratok/Saratok Form 6 College) in Saratok, Sarawak with 222km receiving distance from Bukit Setiam.

RTM Bintulu FM mostly relays Wai FM Iban at most of the hours, except 3 hours local Malay language program from 9am to 12pm as well as 1 hour Ramadan program from 6pm to 7pm. The Iban listeners won't tune Wai FM Iban programs in Saratok on 97.5MHz, instead they tune Wai FM Iban via Sibu FM 94.6MHz (except 9am to 12pm) and 101.3MHz from Gunung Serapi (9am to 12pm).

The signal of RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz is very weak in Saratok, but it is the furthest radio station tuned in Saratok.

* Frequency: FM 97.5MHz

* Power: 1kW

* Transmitter site: Bukit Setiam, Sarawak

* Receiving site: Saratok, Sarawak (near Kolej Tingkatan Enam Saratok)

* Distance: 222km

RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz vs. 106.9MHz in Saratok, Sarawak (by Cock DXer)

Here are the radio frequency signal comparison videos of RTM Wai FM Iban between FM 101.3MHz Gunung Serapi and FM 106.9MHz Gunung Ampungan in Saratok, Sarawak where are recorded by Cock DXer.

Same as Engkilili, Roban, Pusa, Debak and Spaoh, the radio reception of Wai FM 101.3MHz in Saratok is better than 106.9MHz.

In Saratok, Wai FM 106.9MHz from Gunung Ampungan is almost zero signal like what I tuned in Debak and Spaoh last year.

It is clear as same as my video of tuning RTM Wai FM Iban can be received in Saratok, Sarawak on 101.3MHz from Gunung Serapi where I recorded on 20th May 2025.

Wai FM Iban can be tuned in Saratok, Sarawak via Sibu FM 94.6MHz from 12am to 9am, then 12pm to 12pm, meanwhile it is unavailable from 6pm to 7pm during Ramadan month in conjunction with local program, but FM 101.3MHz is the alternative listening method of Wai FM Iban in Saratok for 9am to 12pm slot.

BBC Radio 4 switched off its longwave radio transmission LW 198kHz on 27th June 2026, why did it happen?

 

 

On 27th June 2026, BBC Radio 4 officially switched off its longwave radio transmission LW 198kHz.

 

LW 198kHz was transmitted at Droitwich transmitter tower in Worcestershire, United Kingdom at 500kW power, together with lower power transmission at 50kW in Burgehead and Westerglen.

 

==Brief history== 

BBC longwave radio transmission began on 6th September 1934 on the frequency LW 200kHz for BBC National Service to transmit signal across the country and deliver important information regarding World War 2 (WW2).

 

In 1939, LW 198kHz became BBC European Service. 

 

In 1945, BBC National Service LW 200kHz was switched to BBC Light Programme until 1967. From 1967 to 1978, LW 200kHz was used by BBC Radio 2 before becoming BBC Radio 4 in November 1978.

 

In 1988, BBC Radio 4 changed its longwave frequency LW 200kHz to 198kHz.

 

BBC Radio 4 operated on LW 198kHz from 1988 until June 2026. 

 

Why did BBC Radio 4 switch off LW 198kHz?

1. Many listeners in United Kingdom had already listened to BBC Radio 4 via FM frequencies, DAB+ and online streaming (example: BBC Sounds), people consume digitally more nowadays, they can access the radio via digital gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, laptops. The latest radio receivers don't have LW band anymore. In United Kingdom and many European countries, many radio receivers are only equipped with FM and DAB+. If the people don't tune BBC Radio 4 on FM or DAB+, they can tune digitally by connecting to Smart Speakers or Bluetooth speakers from their smartphones.

2. Longwave (LW) is the oldest radio broadcast wave technology, it was used since early 20th century. At BBC radio engineering department side, it is very expensive and difficult to maintain the longwave radio transmission system nowadays because all the manufacturers of the radio transmitters and antennas had already obsoleted the production, as well as the spare parts of the transmitter system. When the transmitter of BBC Radio 4 LW 198kHz reached end of the life, but there are no spare parts available from the manufacturer, so it is meaningless to continue the transmission of LW 198kHz, even the listeners had already tuned digitally and conventionally FM/DAB+ frequency band.

 

Note: Some of radio transmitters manufacturers also discontinued the production of several FM transmitters nowadays. Example: R&S low power FM transmitters

 

After BBC Radio 4 switched off LW 198kHz, people can continue listening to this radio station on various platform below:

1. FM radio across United Kingdom

2. DAB+ radio on 12B (VHF 225.648MHz) via BBC National DAB

3. BBC Sounds App (UK only) and BBC.com (international)

4. Freeview DVB-T2 on CH704

5. Freesat CH704

6. Virgin Media (CH 904 in England, Scotland and Wales)

7. Virgin Media Ireland (CH 910) 

8. Sky CH 0104 

 

Goodbye to BBC LW 198kHz and thanks for serving the people in United Kingdom during these 92 years (1934 to 2026), from BBC National Service to BBC Light Programme, and then BBC Radio 4.  

 

 

 

As 5th July 2026, Radio Romania Antena Satelor LW 153kHz and Poland's Polskie Radio Program 1 LW 225kHz are the only longwave radio stations in Europe.
