Which radio station do supposed to be assigned for Seremban empty frequency on FM 102.1MHz?

Previously I had published the analysis of FM 102.1MHz Gunung Telapak Burok proposal for radio station Seremban frequency.

FM 102.1MHz is the final vacant frequency in Gunung Telapak Burok.

Now, there are six radio stations haven't been setting up Seremban frequencies in Gunung Telapak Burok. 2 from Astro, 1 from Media Prima, rest are stand alone radio stations.

Here are the radio stations which have not been setting up Seremban frequency.

- Kool FM from Media Prima
- goXUAN from Astro (newly take over from Capital FM)
- Best FM
- BFM
- Bernama Radio
- Zayan FM from Astro (newly take over from Red FM)

Among all the six radio stations, only goXUAN, Best FM, BFM, Zayan FM are able to be received in parts of Negeri Sembilan via Gunung Ulu Kali, even Best FM and Zayan FM can cover Negeri Sembilan minus Seremban by using Gunung Ledang.

In Klang Valley, goXUAN 88.9, Best FM 104.1, Zayan FM 104.9, and BFM 89.9 are transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali. Their transmission can cover West Pahang and up to Gambang and Maran of Pahang. Meanwhile, Bernama Radio 93.9MHz is transmitted from Kuala Lumpur Tower, and Kool FM 101.3MHz is transmitted from Bukit Sungai Besi.

If Best FM, BFM and Bernama Radio want to reach Negeri Sembilan (Seremban), they can launch frequency in Bukit Gan for Seremban, meanwhile Bernama Radio can add 1 more frequency in Gunung Ledang to cover North Johor, Melaka and rest of Negeri Sembilan areas (suggestion 103.9MHz).

Since Kool FM, Zayan FM, goXUAN are likely going to reach Seremban in the future, but there is only 1 frequency available in Gunung Telapak Burok.

In Negeri Sembilan, Zayan FM can be received either 104.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali or 98.9MHz from Gunung Ledang for temporary moment. West Pahang areas can receive Zayan FM on 104.9MHz clearly.

Kool FM 101.3MHz is unable to reach Gunung Ulu Kali due to interference reason by broadcast regulator authority, the proposal of Gunung Ulu Kali got rejected at the moment, so West-Central Pahang areas cannot receive Kool FM 101.3MHz now.

In my opinion, between Zayan, goXUAN, and Kool FM, if subject Gunung Telapak Burok tower space is available, I think MCMC shall assign FM 102.1MHz Gn Telapak Burok to Media Prima Kool FM since Kool FM is not available in Pahang at the moment.

I have my reasons why 102.1MHz shall be awarded to Kool FM, rather than goXUAN, and Zayan.

1. Zayan has high power transmitter in Gunung Ulu Kali 104.9MHz for Klang Valley. Negeri Sembilan listeners still can tune alternatively either 104.9 or 98.9 when Bukit Gan frequency cannot be received in the areas.

2. goXUAN is Chinese young oriented radio station, for Chinese market in Negeri Sembilan. Seremban, Port Dickson are the main Chinese market in N9.

3. For West Pahang areas, between goXUAN, Zayan and Kool FM. goXUAN and Zayan can be received clearly on 88.9 and 104.9 respectively, but Kool FM 101.3MHz cannot be received in Pahang because it is located in Bukit Sungai Besi. I was used to travel Central Pahang such as Bera, Temerloh, Karak, Lanchang and Mentakab, these areas can receive Gunung Telapak Burok radio station. Kool FM shall be awarded on 102.1MHz by regulatory in order to be able to cover Negeri Sembilan and Central Pahang.

4. Zayan and goXUAN are enough to cover Seremban by using Bukit Gan, but they have alternative frequencies. Maybe goXUAN will have Gunung Ledang frequency to cover Melaka in the future, this may be able to cover rest of N. Sembilan areas.

==Klang Valley==
88.9MHz: goXUAN Gunung Ulu Kali (KL+Selangor+West Pahang)
101.3MHz: Kool FM Bukit Sungai Besi (KL + part of Selangor only)
104.9MHz: Zayan Gunung Ulu Kali (KL+Selangor+West Pahang)

==Seremban==
89.1MHz: goXUAN Bukit Gan (Seremban only; my suggestion)
102.1MHz: Kool FM Gunung Telapak Burok (Negeri Sembilan minus Tampin, Central Pahang, West Pahang minus Kemayan, Bentong, Raub and Lipis, South Klang Valley)
99.1MHz: Zayan Bukit Gan (Seremban only; my suggestion)

==Melaka/North Johor==
91.5MHz: goXUAN Gunung Ledang (suggestion)
100.9MHz: Kool FM Gunung Ledang (suggestion)
98.9MHz: Zayan Gunung Ledang

Conclusion: 102.1MHz Gn Telapak Burok shall be given to Kool FM.
