Best FM frequency for Seremban






Best FM currently broadcasts in Johor, Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, South Perak and West Pahang with 104.1MHz: South Johor (Gunung Pulai), 102.5MHz: Mersing (Bukit Tinggi), 104.1MHz: Kuala Lumpur/Selangor/West Pahang/South Perak/North Negeri Sembilan (Gunung Ulu Kali) and 94.8MHz: Melaka/North Johor/Southern Negeri Sembilan (Gunung Ledang).

In Seremban, Best FM is not clear there on 104.1MHz or 94.8MHz. Best FM 94.8MHz can be received in Rembau, Tampin, Jempol, and Johol, but cannot be received in Seremban due to interference with Hitz FM 95.0MHz from Gunung Telapa Burok.

In my opinion, Best FM (formerly known as Best 104) can add a transmitter for Seremban in Bukit Gan on this frequency 101.1MHz. Regarding the transmitter site Gunung Telapa Burok, the frequencies there are fully used, only 102.1MHz and 106.0MHz. The frequency 106.0MHz is still belonged to Red FM after closure transmission in June 2009 due to transmitter tower cannot support the new transmitter where TV9 and 8TV were going to set up there. Meanwhile 102.1MHz may be used by one FM due to migration from Bukit Gun in order to expand coverage in Negeri Sembilan.
I don't think Best FM can set up in Gunung Telapa Burok due to unsuitable frequency.

Best FM can use 101.1MHz in Bukit Gun for Seremban areas. Bukit Gun coverage is not great as Gunung Telapa Burok due to its height. 

With Bukit Gun transmitter, Best FM can be received clearly in Seremban, Labu, Mambau, Rantau and Senawang. In my dad hometown, Mantin will not receive clearly from Bukit Gun 101.1MHz, meanwhile Best FM Bukit Gun frequency totally cannot be received in Nilai..

==Best FM Seremban== (my review)

Location: Bukit Gan
Area coverage: Seremban.

100.9MHz: Selangor FM Ulu Kali
