Malaysia seventh Chinese radio station is set to be launched on 02.10.2017, this radio is owned by Astro, based on acquisition of Capital FM on September 2016. goXUAN is the station name, it targets Chinese younger listeners, aged likely 12-25, this station is even having more junior look than My FM.
goXUAN can be classified as Chinese version of Hitz FM, meanwhile My FM will become "Chinese burger", like Mix FM which is "English burger", targets urban listeners.
For its Johor Bahru frequency, currently there is no available frequency there, but Astro Melody FM runs two frequency in Johor Bahru, but different TX sites. Melody FM frequencies were formerly run by Xfresh (later XFM). During early years, XFresh FM launched 103.3MHz in Johor Bahru Metropolis Tower first as result not available of Gunung Pulai frequency yet, later they launched 2nd JB frequency in Gunung Pulai on 98.4MHz.
Between 103.3 and 98.4, the coverage of 98.4 is wider enough, the transmission can be going up to Parit Sulong and Batu Pahat, but 98.4MHz is Melody FM.
For goXUAN JB frequency, in my opinion, I think Astro shift FM 103.3MHz (Metropolis Tower) programming from Melody FM to goXUAN FM as Melody FM can be received in Johor Bahru on FM 98.4MHz from Gunung Pulai.
For rest of Johor areas, goXUAN need to be received from Gunung Pulai.
==Astro Chinese radio stations in Johor Bahru==
95.4MHz: MY FM Gunung Pulai
98.4MHz: Melody FM Gunung Pulai
103.3MHz: goXUAN Metropolis Tower (suggestion)
