Radio Farda shortwave tuning in Malaysia

The clandestine shortwave radio station for Iran, namely Radio Farda can be received in Malaysia.

In March 2026, I manage to tune Radio Farda on various shortwave frequencies in Balakong, Selangor where is not far from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

* SW 21600kHz (from Philippines)

* SW 17840kHz (from Philippines)

* SW 9365kHz (from Kuwait)

* SW 11575kHz (from Kuwait)

* SW 7470kHz (from Kuwait)

Radio Farda shortwave frequencies from Philippines are loud and clear in Malaysia, compare to Kuwait transmitted frequencies.

The transmitter sites of Radio Farda are located in Philippines (Tinang) and Kuwait (Sulaibiyah) where the shortwave transmission facility is belonged to USAGM (U.S. Agency for Global Media) which also operates Voice of America (VOA).

Tuning distance from Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia 

* Tinang, Philippines: 2484km

* Sulaibiyah, Kuwait: 6384km

Video are recorded between 8th and 14th March 2026.

Among all frequencies that I tuned, SW 21600kHz is the clearest in Malaysia, following by SW 17840kHz and SW 11575kHz.

Kool FM can launch Seremban frequency by taking over the frequency from now defunct CityPlus FM 106.0MHz, but subject to MCMC's approval and broadcast regulation.

Since 13th February 2026, CityPlus FM had ceased broadcast of its frequency transmission, currently FM 106.0MHz is empty in Negeri Sembilan.

We had seen that Kool FM expanded coverage in Melaka, Johor Bahru and Ipoh by taking over frequencies from Eight FM last year in November 2025, but as today, Kool FM has not reached Seremban yet by launching frequency there.

As CityPlus FM 106.0MHz is already closed and the frequency is vacated. In my opinion, I strongly suggest Kool FM to use the frequency slot for Negeri Sembilan, so the listeners can tune Kool FM in Negeri Sembilan, but there is a condition has to be followed.

1. Rather than frequency acquisition which will breach the broadcast regulation (unless with MCMC's approval), the license holder of CityPlus FM, OOGA X should surrender the frequency 106.0MHz to MCMC, then Media Prima Audio can request the frequency to MCMC for Kool FM.

It is unknown of OOGA X still holds the frequency FM 106.0MHz or already surrender to MCMC currently. This is because OOGA X may relaunch CityPlus FM 106.0MHz in months.

After 8 years as Chinese business radio station, CityPlus will be transformed as lifestyle media, heavily focusing on social media, but it is unknown whether CityPlus will relaunch FM 106.0MHz as Chinese lifestyle radio station or not in the future because some sources say that CityPlus FM 106.0MHz switch off is just temporary.

Under MCMC's regulation, if a radio broadcaster has not surrendered frequency to MCMC, none of new radio player is allowed to purchase the frequency from another broadcaster without MCMC's approval. 

The reason of me to suggest Kool FM to "take over" frequency from CityPlus FM for Seremban area is Gunung Telapak Buruk has no empty frequency other than 106.0MHz, then coincidentally CityPlus FM 106.0MHz is closed down, so I think it is an opportunity to Media Prima Audio to launch Kool FM in Seremban by using 106.0MHz. In addition, the frequency FM 102.0MHz that I nominated cannot be used in Gunung Telapak Buruk because the radio transmission can cause interference to the coverage of Johor FM 101.9MHz in Central Johor (Batu Pahat and Kluang District) where 105.3MHz Gunung Ledang transmitter is not so clear in certain locations such as Sri Gading, Parit Raja and some part of Yong Peng. Therefore, I aim the frequency 106.0MHz.

I don't suggest Kool FM to launch Seremban frequency in Bukit Gun because the coverage is very small, Bukit Gun transmitter tower can only cover Seremban, the signal is disappeared outside Seremban.

If Kool FM uses 106.0MHz in Seremban, it can solve the co-channel interference between Kool FM Gunung Ledang and Eight WuXian Gunung Ulu Kali on 88.1MHz in Pahang, Negeri Sembilan and part of Melaka. Kool FM 88.1MHz suffers co-channel interference from Eight FM in Northwest Melaka (Masjid Tanah, Sungai Udang, Lubok Cina, Kuala Sungai Baru) due to same frequency, so with Seremban frequency 106.0MHz, the listeners in affected areas can tune alternatively on this frequency. Hence, co-channel interference issue is instantly cracked down.

Hopefully OOGA X will surrender FM 106.0MHz to MCMC if the company doesn't wish to continue operating CityPlus, then it only allows Kool FM to broadcast in Negeri Sembilan on 106.0MHz when Media Prima requests the frequency to MCMC.

Hot FM, Kool FM and Molek FM from Media Prima Audio will cease broadcast on MYTV, effective 1st March 2026.

MYTV Broadcasting announces that Media Prima Audio radio stations (Hot FM, Kool FM and Molek FM) will be no longer available on MYTV digital terrestrial television platform, effective 1st March 2026.

Hot FM, Kool FM and Molek FM will cease broadcast on MYTV today at 2359 hours.

Before Hot FM, Kool FM and Molek FM leave MYTV, actually Eight FM and Fly FM ceased broadcast on MYTV early.

After Hot FM, Kool FM and Molek FM switched off their broadcast on MYTV, their listeners can tune alternatively on Audio+ app, YouTube LIVE streaming or radio frequencies platform.

This is caused by low listenership performance of tuning MPA radio stations on MYTV, so MPA decides to leave MYTV for its radio stations. It is very expensive to broadcast on MYTV digital terrestrial television, the broadcasters have to pay the transmission fees millions annually, certain broadcasters cannot survive when there is no commercial revenue and audiences.

Starting from March 2026, all Media Prima radio stations will leave MYTV digital terrestrial television platform entirely. Hence, MYTV radio stations only remain RTM and Bernama Radio, previously standalone radio station Manis FM left MYTV.

雖然“Eight無限”已經在2025年11月停播了怡保頻道87.6，但霹靂中南部一些地區還可以通過雪隆區頻道88.1繼續收聽。

自從“Eight無限”的怡保頻道FM 87.6MHz已經變成馬來語電台Kool FM，霹靂一些中南部地區不受到到影響因為聽眾還可以通過雪隆區頻道繼續收聽Eight無限。

“Eight無限” FM 88.1MHz在霹靂州安順 (Teluk Intan) 和實兆遠 (Sitiawan)的線路還挺清晰的，但如果聽眾使用便宜的收音機來收聽，他們會聽到頻率干擾因為Eight無限88.1被兩家怡保電台 (Fly FM 87.9MHz和RTM Radio Klasik FM 88.3MHz) “圍攻”。

以下是“Eight無限” FM 88.1MHz在霹靂州安順和實兆遠的接收訊號短片。

1. Sitiawan 實兆遠

2. Teluk Intan 安順

Tanjung Malim丹絨馬林和美羅Bidor是“霹靂州接收“Eight無限”88.1最清晰的地區。

“Eight無限”怡保頻道87.6停播而變成Kool FM的事件是沒有影響到太平地區因為當地從其前身One FM開台向來都是通過檳城頻道87.8收聽廣播。

雖然“Eight無限”已經升級為數碼優先(digital first)的中文電台，但霹靂州部份地區的聽眾依然可以通過收音機平台收聽已經算很好，至少有好過沒有。

RTM Johor FM 92.1MHz dari Bukit Tinggi melimpah isyarat radio ke Wilayah Borneo di Tamparuli, Sabah buat kali pertama dengan melalui pemancaran Sporadik-E

Pada 14hb Februari 2026, seorang peminat radio dari Sabah, Kisah Alkisah telah merakam video isyarat RTM Johor FM di Tamparuli, Sabah pada frekuensi FM 92.1MHz yang dipancar dari Bukit Tinggi.

Untuk makluman, FM 92.1MHz dari Bukit Tinggi meliputi Johor Timur seperti Mersing, Jemaluang dan Endau.

Tamparuli ialah bandar kecil di Daerah Tuaran, Bahagian Pantai Barat, Sabah, jarak dari Kota Kinabalu ialah 39km.

Isyarat radio Johor FM 92.1MHz dari Bukit Tinggi yang diterima di Tamparuli, Sabah oleh Kisah Alkisah adalah pemancaran Sporadik-E. Jenis pemancaran radio Sporadik-E adalah limpahan isyarat radio yang luar biasa dan bersifat rawak. Isyarat radio Sporadik-E boleh melimpah dengan jarak lebih dari 1000km dari tempat pemancar, terdapat juga pemancaran radio Sporadik-E pada frekuensi FM boleh melimpah isyarat ke tempat penerimaan dengan jarak lebih dari 2000km.

Berdasarkan pada video atas berikut, isyarat Johor FM 92.1MHz di Tamparuli, Sabah ialah sederhana jelas sebelum lenyap apabila pemancaran Sporadik-E telah tamat.

Johor FM 92.1MHz hanya boleh diterima sekejap sahaja, frekuensi tersebut tiada mempunyai isyarat di Tamparuli, Sabah pada kebanyakkan masa.

Jarak dari pemancar Bukit Tinggi ke Tamparuli, Sabah ialah 1461km.

Semasa berlaku penerimaan siaran radio bersifat Sporadik-E, RTM Johor FM 92.1MHz dari Bukit Tinggi boleh didengari dengan jelas di Tamparuli, Sabah tanpa gangguan frekuensi daripada RTM Ai FM 91.9MHz dari pemancar Lawa Mandau.

Buat kali pertama Johor FM telah melimpah isyarat radio ke Wilayah Borneo di Tamparuli, Sabah pada frekuensi 92.1MHz dari Bukit Tinggi.

==Penerimaan siaran Johor FM di Tamparuli, Sabah==

* Frekuensi: FM 92.1MHz

* Kuasa pemancar: 1kW

* Tempat pemancar: Bukit Tinggi, Johor

* Tempat penerima: Tamparuli, Sabah 

* Jarak: 1461km

* Jenis pemancaran: Sporadik-E

Frekuensi FM 92.1MHz di Tamparuli, Sabah ialah isyarat lemah siaran radio Nasional FM dari Bukit Trig yang meliputi Sandakan jika tiada perlakuan pemancaran radio Sporadik-E.

Tahniah kepada Kisah Alkisah kerana beliau telah menerima siaran radio Johor FM 92.1MHz di Tamparuli, Sabah.

Johor radio stations tuned in Tamparuli, Sabah via Sporadic E propagation

On the Valentine's Day, 14th February 2026, the Sabah radio DXer, Kisah Alkisah made a shocking radio reception in Tamparuli, Sabah by tuning Gunung Pulai and Bukit Tinggi transmitter Johor radio stations.

He tuned 5 Johor radio stations, 4 were from Gunung Pulai, and 1 was from Bukit Tinggi.

Tamparuli is a town located in Tuaran District, West Coast Division, Sabah, it is 40km from Kota Kinabalu.

1. Hot FM 90.1MHz (1497km from Gunung Pulai)

2. 988 FM 99.9MHz (1497km from Gunung Pulai)

3. RTM Minnal FM 101.1MHz (1497km from Gunung Pulai)

4. Suria FM 101.4MHz (1497km from Gunung Pulai)

5. RTM Johor FM 92.1MHz (1461km from Bukit Tinggi)

These radio stations were Sporadic E propagation as the signals were disappeared soon and they were not available all the time in Tamparuli, Sabah.

Hot FM 90.1MHz and Minnal FM 101.1MHz were loud and clear in Tamparuli, Sabah, but Hot FM 90.1MHz had appeared its RDS PS text on the radio receiver. Although Hot FM 90.1MHz is just 200kHz away from local radio station RTM Sabah FM 89.9MHz Lawa Mandau transmitter, no interference noise was detected. In Johor, RTM Radio Klasik is using 90.1MHz in Bukit Tinggi which is same frequency with Hot FM, both have co-channel interference in Kluang and Ayer Hitam, but there was no co-channel interference between Radio Klasik and Hot FM on 90.1MHz in Tamparuli, Sabah.

Suria FM 101.4MHz and 988 FM 99.9MHz were very weak in Tamparuli, Sabah, but they were audible.

RTM Johor FM 92.1MHz from Bukit Tinggi had a strong Sporadic E propagation in Tamparuli, Sabah. It was loud and clear with less weaker radio reception. Kisah Alkisah recorded the radio reception videos with 2 minutes 30 minutes duration, the ident jingle of the radio station was recorded before the news from RTM Angkasapuri. RTM Johor FM 92.1MHz was very consistent in Tamparuli, no adjacent channel interference noise of RTM Ai FM 91.9MHz from Lawa Mandau transmitter was detected during the radio reception.

Congratulations to Kisah Alkisah for catching Peninsular Malaysia transmitted radio stations in Tamparuli, Sabah at the first time, but through Sporadic E propagation.

Tea FM has ceased broadcast in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah by switching off its frequency 102.8MHz

Starting from January 2026, Tea FM's Kota Kinabalu frequency 102.8MHz is not included in its frequency list on Facebook and Instagram pages.

On Tea FM's Facebook and Instagram pages, Tea FM only mentiones two frequencies with 102.7MHz in Kuching and 100.7MHz in Sibu where both are in Sarawak.

In my opinion, it is ok if Tea FM broadcasts without Kota Kinabalu frequency nowadays because Kota Kinabalu is no longer the target market of this radio station. Tea FM is based in Kuching, Sarawak, and most of its content is related to Sarawak, so it is not functioning in Sabah.

Tea FM doesn't deliver any content related with Sabah. It doesn't have listeners in Kota Kinabalu, Tuaran, Papar and Kota Belud. So, it is a wise move of Tea FM to switch off its frequency 102.8MHz in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Now Tea FM 102.8MHz is a silent radio transmission in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

In terms of frequency assignment, it is not good to use 102.8MHz in Kota Kinabalu due to 100kHz frequency separation from RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz Bukit Tampalagus transmitter.

Bukit Karatong frequency should be separated at 200kHz from Bukit Tampalagus, instead of 100kHz.

It is better to strengthen Tea FM in Sarawak, not Sabah anymore.

By switching off the frequency transmission in Kota Kinabalu, actually Tea FM can expand coverage by setting up frequency in Miri because Miri is the second largest city in Sarawak after Kuching.

CityPlus FM has ceased broadcast officially on FM radio platform 106.0MHz, meanwhile online streaming broadcast continues until April 2026. Hopefully Kool FM will launch frequency in Seremban by using 106.0MHz.

Today I realize that CityPlus FM 106.0MHz is no longer in broadcast operation, I tune to FM 106.0MHz in Puchong and Seri Kembangan where I could listen formerly, but no signal anymore.

Then, I raise inquiry to CityPlus FM via official Facebook page privately regarding the dead air of its frequency 106.0MHz. I'm told by CityPlus FM that the frequency 106.0MHz is no longer available anymore, but online streaming broadcast continues until April 2026.

CityPlus FM will deliver its content via social media after this. So, CityPlus will be no longer as a radio station, but digital content media in the near future.

The broadcast license holder of CityPlus FM, OOGA X Sdn Bhd has surrendered the frequency to MCMC.

Now the frequency is vacated in South Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka.

In my opinion, as OOGA X was used to collaborate with Media Prima Audio, I hope Media Prima Audio will take over this frequency from CityPlus FM for Kool FM in Seremban, but subject to MCMC's approval.

If Kool FM launches Seremban frequency by taking over 106.0MHz from CityPlus, Kool FM can instantly crack down the co-channel interference on 88.1MHz in Negeri Sembilan, Northwest Melaka and part of Pahang.

By launching Kool FM in Seremban on 106.0MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk, Kool FM can reach part of Pahang at the first time since March 2016.

In addition, Pahang listeners in Bera, Temerloh, Jerantut, Chenor and Muadzam Shah can tune Kool FM 106.0MHz if it happens.

At my side, I don't need to struggle in the RF analysis of FM 102.0MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk radio transmission which doesn't guarantee of MCMC's approval due to 100kHz frequency separation with Johor FM 101.9MHz Gunung Pulai transmitter which can cause interference in Central Johor. Besides that, if MCMC allows Kool FM to use 106.0MHz in Seremban, I don't even need to visit Central Johor for radio signal check by comparing between Gunung Pulai and Gunung Telapak Buruk radio transmission at 100kHz frequency separation anymore.

Since CityPlus FM has officially ceased its frequency transmission on 106.0MHz, I seriously hope that Media Prima Audio can request the frequency from MCMC for Kool FM in Negeri Sembilan, therefore Kool FM can reach entirely in West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia from Kedah to Johor without any gap.
