one FM太平頻道 (part 2)

我昨晚在Google搜尋關於馬來西亞WBC TV電視台試播的資訊和發射地點. 搜尋後, Google顯示一個連結, 過後我進去看, 它是PDF文件來的. 這個文件很大下. 通常我沒有仔細去看, 只是看我要的而已. WBC TV在2011年尾是從Gunung Ulu Kali廣播, 但是2012年尾因為財政危機而結束廣播. 看到WBC TV的試播訊息, 就無意中看到one FM被列入該表裡, 裡面有顯示one FM在Bukit Larut試播.

根據馬來西亞多媒體委員會2011年的報告, one FM除了在東馬廣播之外, 2011年10月他們在柔佛新山試播, 頻率是105.3MHz, 發射地點是在Taman Sentosa, 而非Gunung Pulai因為柔佛北部的電台 Johor FM也是用105.3MHz, 避免導致干擾, 最終one FM也有在新山廣播..

另外讓我無法相信的是one FM曾經在太平Bukit Larut試播, 為期6個月. 當時試播期間, one FM沒有在任何的管道來公布在太平試播頻道. 關於one FM在Bukit Larut試播的頻率, 我們真的不知道, 但是我預測是FM 105.7MHz.

之前我發表關於太平的空缺頻道有92.4MHz, 93.2MHz和105.7MHz.

93.2MHz離華玲的93.3MHz只有0.1MHz. 如果馬來西亞多媒體委員會把one FM太平頻率放在93.2MHz, 早就開始正式在太平落地了因為Hot FM的太平頻道90.5MHz跟Kedah FM華玲頻道是一樣, 還有Suria FM 91.7MHz太平頻道與吉打華玲Traxx FM同個頻率. 

HOT FM在Bukit Larut正式廣播, 是從2011年5月開始, 頻率為90.5MHz, Hot FM在太平試播是大約2010年未, 絕對不可能在2011年12月試播, 因為Hot FM的擁有者是Synchrosound Studios Sdn Bhd.

one FM在太平試播頻道最終還是無法正式廣播因為他們所用的頻道可能干擾了其他電台的廣播. 如果他們用105.7MHz, 可能因為Kedah FM 105.7MHz Gunung Raya在Langkawi和吉打北部的收線收到one FM的干擾而取消發射.. 使用105.7MHz的電台有Lite FM和Kedah FM, 但是我在霹靂南部收Lite FM 105.7MHz不會受到干擾.

因為這個因素, 現在的one FM在太平需要收比較遠的87.8MHz. 其實one FM可以在Bukit Gantang設有太平頻道, 但是覆蓋範圍不會比Bukit Larut來得大. Bukit Gantang只是覆蓋太平和附近地區. 適合的頻率有: 92.4MHz, 97.3MHz.

BEST FM from Johor to Peninsular Malaysia

Best FM (formerly known as Best 104), which owned by Suara Johor Sdn Bhd, also belonged to Royal of Johor, is the first private radio station in Malaysia (non-commericial before 1996). It was launched in 1989 and broadcasted in English and Malay.

Due to stiff competition with other English radio stations, Best FM had dropped English programme in 2001 and became full fledged Malay radio station.

Best FM was a radio station for Johor state only, Best FM expanded its coverage to Kuala Lumpur, and Selangor in 1996 due to stiff competition with THR FM. This caused Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, South Perak, Negeri Sembilan and West Pahang could receive BEST FM.

Best 104 was renamed to Best FM in 2014 during 25 years anniversary of broadcast operations. Currently, Best FM can be received in:

104.1MHz from Gunung Pulai for South Johor, Singapore and Riau Islands
94.8MHz from Gunung Ledang for North Johor, Melaka and South Negeri Sembilan
102.5MHz from Bukit Tinggi for East Johor and South East Pahang
104.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali for Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, South Perak and West Pahang

Best FM currently operates its studio in Johor Bahru, they are planning to open a studio at Berjaya Times Square this year. Best FM plans to expand its broadcast coverage to Peninsular Malaysia.

In my opinion, there has some transmitter site can be expanded by Best FM:

1. Bukit Pelindung for East Pahang (suggested frequency: 102.2MHz)
2. Bukit Besar for Terengganu
3. Bukit Panau or Bukit Bakar for Kelantan
4. Gunung Kledang for Perak (empty frequencies: 93.3MHz or 94.9MHz)
5. Bukit Palong Baling for Kedah (suggested frequency: 105.5MHz)
6. Gunung Raya for Langkawi and Perlis (empty frequency: 91.5MHz, 94.2MHz, 87.5MHz)
7. Bukit Penara for Penang (empty frequencies: 93.1MHz)
8. Bukit Gan for Seremban (101.1MHz)

Set up a transmitter in north region is more difficult than east coast because the FM frequencies in north region are full, mainly Kedah.

I don't think they launch transmitter in Gunung Jerai because frequencies are full. If do so, this can cause interference to other radio stations from other location mainly Gunung Raya, Bukit Penara, Bukit Larut, Bukit Dedap, Bukit Palong, Yala, Songkhla and Satun. In addition, Best FM may not launch a transmitter for Taiping and North Perak because frequencies there are full. Therefore, Best FM had to be received in Taiping via Gunung Kledang Ipoh transmitter or Bukit Penara transmitter.
