FLY FM Kedah, Perlis, Penang and North Perak

In north region of Malaysia, FLY FM has two frequencies, mainly 89.9MHz from Bukit Penara and 99.1MHz from Alor Setar.

89.9MHz covers Penang, South Kedah and North Perak, meanwhile 99.1MHz covers Alor Setar and certain areas only.

A new Penang radio station, Pi Mai FM was launched in Bukit Penara on 90.2MHz since 2012, this cause the FM frequencies in north region more jammed.

These two frequencies are not suitable to be set up in Gunung Jerai because this can cause interference with radio stations from Satun, Thailand and local radio stations. Here is the frequencies list in Kedah:

89.3MHz- Lite FM (Bukit Larut; Taiping)
89.5MHz- <empty>
89.7MHz- Nasional FM (Bukit Palong; Baling)
89.9MHz- FLY FM (Bukit Penara; Penang)
90.0MHz- Easy FM (Satun, Thailand)
90.2MHz- Pi Mai FM (Bukit Penara; Penang)
90.5MHz- Hot FM (Bukit Larut; Taiping) & Kedah FM (Bukit Palong; Baling)

99.0MHz- Idea Radio (Satun, Thailand)
99.1MHz- FLY FM (Menara Alor Setar)
99.25MHz- Love Radio (Satun, Thailand)

FLY FM launched frequencies in Alor Setar on 99.1MHz since 2007, but Perlis and Langkawi totally cannot receive FLY FM.

Actually FLY FM can combine their two frequencies into single, but this involves Nasional FM Bukit Palong frequency to be changed where established since 1995. Nasional FM Bukit Palong frequency must be changed to 89.5MHz once if FLY FM use Gunung Jerai transmitter on 89.8MHz.

If FLY FM changed its Penang frequencies and transmitter site to 89.8MHz and Gunung Jerai, it can cover whole Kedah, Perlis, Penang and North Perak, even Langkawi is able to receive FLY FM from Gunung Jerai. In addition, the radio frequencies band in north region will be less jammed. Therefore, FLY FM may not need Taiping frequency, even North Perak can receive FLY FM 89.8MHz clearly from Gunung Jerai like Red FM 98.1MHz. Meanwhile, FLY FM Alor Setar frequency 99.1MHz is not needed anymore if FLY FM use Gunung Jerai transmitter on 89.8MHz.
