Panduan frekuensi Zayan FM di Negeri Sembilan (buat sementara waktu)




==Zayan FM Negeri Sembilan==

FM 104.9MHz (Gunung Ulu Kali): Nilai, Labu, Pedas, Linggi, Port Dickson, Mantin, Lenggeng, Lukut, Bukit Pelanduk, Bandar Seri Jempol (Felda Lui + Felda Serting + Kampung Sungai Lui), Simpang Durian, Teluk Kumbar, Mambau, Rantau, Si Rusa, Simpang Pertang, sebahagian Seremban, sebahagian Rembau, sebahagian Senawang dan sebahagian Bahau/Titi

FM 98.9MHz (Gunung Ledang): Tampin, Kota, Gemencheh, Gemas, Rompin, Johol, Dangi, Kuala Pilah, Juasseh, Batu Kikir, sebahagian kawasan Jempol/Bahau, sebahagian kawasan Kuala Klawang

Kawasan yang tiada mempunyai signal atau sangat lemah: Jelebu, Ulu Klawang, bandar Seremban, Ulu Bendul, Seri Menanti, Pantai, Rantau.

Catatan tambahan: Zayan FM di sebahagian kawasan Melaka seperti Masjid Tanah, Lubuk Cina, Kuala Sungai Baru, Sungai Udang dan Kem Terendak (dimana penerimaan FM 98.9MHz Gunung Ledang bertindih dengan 988 FM 98.8MHz Gunung Ulu Kali) ialah FM 104.9MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali.

Pandangan saya terhadap frekuensi Seremban untuk Zayan FM



Zayan FM adalah sebuah stesen berbahasa Melayu yang berkonsep Muslim moden yang dilancarkan oleh Astro sejak kebelakangan ini.

Buat masa kini, Zayan FM boleh diterima pada frekuensi-frekuensi bawah berikut:
- 104.9MHz: Lembah Klang (Gunung Ulu Kali)
- 98.9MHz: Melaka/Johor Utara (Gunung Ledang)
- 98.1MHz: Pulau Pinang/Kedah/Perak Utara/Perlis (Gunung Jerai)
- 106.4MHz: Ipoh (Gunung Kledang)
- 91.6MHz: Kuantan (Bukit Pelindung)
- 92.8MHz: Johor Bahru (Gunung Pulai)

Frekuensi Zayan FM yang baru beroperasi dahulunya ialah Red FM yang dimiliki oleh The Star. Pada asalnya, Red FM pernah mempunyai frekuensi Seremban pada 106.0MHz yang dipancar dari Gunung Telapak Burok. Saya masih ingat saya pernah mendengar Red FM di 106.0MHz pada April 2009 apabila saya berada di Mantin, Negeri Sembilan, tetapi Red FM sudah menamatkan pemancaran Gunung Telapak Burok FM 106.0MHz sejak Jun 2009. Oleh itu, pada masa itu, Red FM perlu diterima sama ada 98.9MHz atau 104.9MHz di Negeri Sembilan.

Setelah Red FM menamatkan pemancaran 106.0MHz untuk Negeri Sembilan, frekuensi FM 106.0MHz menjadi kosong sehingga Oktober 2016. Sejak 26hb Oktober 2016, bekas frekuensi Negeri Sembilan Red FM 106.0MHz telah digunakan oleh City Plus FM (sebuah stesen bisnes berbahasa Cina yang dibawah naungan CENSE Media Sdn Bhd) dan dipancar dari tempat yang sama, tetapi CityPlus FM 106.0MHz meliputi Lembah Klang dari Gunung Telapak Burok.

Sejak City Plus FM telah menggunakan frekuensi tersebut, saya tidak fikir bahawa Zayan akan menggunakan atau mengaktifkan semula frekuensi FM 106.0Mhz untuk N.Sembilan. Pada pandangan saya, mengenai frekuensi Zayan FM untuk Seremban, saya mungkin fikir bahawa liputan frekuensi Seremban oleh Zayan tidak akan luas seperti stesen kembarnya Era dan Sinar kerana Gunung Telapak Burok tiada frekuensi kosong. Kemungkinan besar, Zayan memperluaskan liputan siarannya ke Seremban dengan meletakkan pemancar di Bukit Gan seperti Media Prima One FM 88.3MHz, tetapi liputannya terhad untuk Seremban dan kawasan berhampirannya. Bagi kawasan lain Negeri Sembilan perlu menerima Zayan FM sama ada 104.9 atau 98.9.

==Cadangan saya mengenai frekuensi Zayan FM di Seremban==
Frekuensi: FM 99.9MHz
Tempat pemancar: Bukit Gan, Seremban

==Analisa frekuensi==

99.9MHz: Zayan FM Bukit Gan
100.1MHz: Traxx Gunung Ulu Kali
<200kHz, OK>

99.9MHz: Zayan FM Bukit Gan
99.9MHz: 988 FM Gunung Pulai
<0kHz, OK>

99.7MHz: Raaga Gunung Ledang
99.9MHz: Zayan FM Bukit Gan
<200kHz, OK>


Selain itu, ia mungkin tiada masalah jika SKMM memberi frekuensi FM 101.1MHz kepada Zayan di Bukit Gan dimana 101.1MHz adalah cadangan saya untuk Best FM sebelum ini, tetapi terpulanglah kepada keputusan SKMM.

Untuk blog seterusnya, saya akan menerbitkan direktori atau panduan mengenai frekuensi Zayan FM di kawasan Negeri Sembilan (tidak termasuk dengan cadangan frekuensi Seremban yang saya membangkitkan).

Review on Zayan FM Seremban frequency



Zayan is Malay language Muslim contemporary radio station, launched by Astro Radio Sdn Bhd recently.

Currently Zayan can be received with these frequencies and areas below:
- 104.9MHz: Klang Valley (Gunung Ulu Kali)
- 98.9MHz: Melaka/North Johor (Gunung Ledang)
- 98.1MHz: Penang/Kedah/North Perak/Perlis (Gunung Jerai)
- 106.4MHz: Ipoh (Gunung Kledang)
- 91.6MHz: Kuantan (Bukit Pelindung)
- 92.8MHz: Johor Bahru (Gunung Pulai)

The frequencies were formerly carried by Red FM. Zayan's former radio station, Red FM originally had Seremban frequency on FM 106.0MHz Gunung Telapak Burok.

Previously I had mentioned Red FM had closed down its Seremban frequency FM 106.0MHz in June 2009. After Red FM Seremban frequency closed down, Negeri Sembilan areas need to receive Red FM weaker signal either 104.9MHz or 98.9MHz.

FM 106.0MHz left empty until October 2016 (before acquisition of Red FM is done by Astro). Since 26th October 2016, City Plus FM (Chinese business radio station, operated by CENSE Media Sdn Bhd) uses 106.0MHz in Gunung Telapak Burok to start broadcasting.

Talk about Zayan FM Negeri Sembilan frequency, I don't think Zayan will have wider coverage in Negeri Sembilan with Seremban frequency like Era and Sinar FM as Gunung Telapak Burok has no more available frequencies. In my opinion, Zayan may reach coverage in Negeri Sembilan by putting transmitter in Bukit Gan, like One FM 88.3MHz, but coverage is limited for Seremban and surrounding areas. Rest of Negeri Sembilan areas must need to receive Zayan either 104.9 or 98.9MHz, depend in which location.

==My suggestion on Zayan FM Seremban frequency==
Frequency: FM 99.9MHz
Site: Bukit Gan, Seremban

==Radio frequency analysis==

99.9MHz: Zayan FM Bukit Gan
100.1MHz: Traxx Gunung Ulu Kali
<200kHz, OK>

99.9MHz: Zayan FM Bukit Gan
99.9MHz: 988 FM Gunung Pulai
<0kHz, OK>

99.7MHz: Raaga Gunung Ledang
99.9MHz: Zayan FM Bukit Gan
<200kHz, OK>

It is no problem if MCMC assigns Zayan on FM 101.1MHz which I classify 101.1 as my suggestion for Best FM Seremban frequency, but it is based on the decision of MCMC.

Upcoming blog post, I will publish the frequency directory regarding Zayan FM in Negeri Sembilan areas in bi-lingual languages (English and Malay).[excluding of my suggestion on Seremban frequency]

Bilakah Best FM akan lancar di Pantai Timur?

Berdasarkan pada artikel laman Facebook Johor Times 01 Ogos 2016, katanya Best FM akan memperluaskan siarannya ke Pantai Timur pada awal 2017.

Pada masa sekarang, Best FM sedang menjalankan siaran percubaan pada FM 91.4MHz di Telipot, Kota Bharu dan FM 90.9MHz di Bukit Besar, Kuala Terengganu. Pada pandangan saya, Best FM mungkin tidak melancar di Pantai Timur tahun ini. Kemungkinan besar Best FM akan melancar di Pantai Timur pada tahun depan, sempena dengan ulangtahun ke-30 Best FM bersiaran di Malaysia.

Best FM akan menyambut ulangtahun ke-30nya tahun depan. Stesen ini beroperasi pada tahun 1988 dengan siaran percubaan, dan kemudian memperluaskan siarannya ke Lembah Klang pada 1996.

Pada 2014, Best 104 melancarkan penjenamaan semula kepada Best FM sempena ulangtahun Jubli Peraknya ke-25. 

Adakah Best FM akan menyambut ulangtahun ke-30nya (1988-2018) dengan melancarkan frekuensi di Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu dan Kuantan?


When will Best FM launch in East Coast?

Currently there have new FM radio are performing test transmission in Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu with playing different genre of Malay songs, but it seems like they are using emergency player at the towers.

FM 91.4MHz: Telipot
FM 90.9MHz: Bukit Besar

According to somebody, these two transmitters are belonged to Best FM as the presenter said on air "ini adalah siaran percubaan" (JJ Best FM)

In my opinion, Best FM will not launch in Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu this year until 2018. I may hear that Best FM will add East Coast content segment next year, but I don't think Best FM will separate its programmes like Hot FM which may cause less listeners as stiff competition of full fledged east coast radio like THR Gegar and Manis FM. Instead of sub east coast content for Kelantan and Terengganu frequencies only, I think Best FM will only add east coast content as a segment for nationwide. So, means that current Best FM frequencies in Johor, Melaka, Klang Valley carry east coast segment.

Seriously Best FM direct competitor is Suria FM where plays the songs from 1990s till now. When Best FM comes to east coast, there will have huge competition between Best FM and other stations.

I think Best FM will launch officially in Kota Bharu on 91.4MHz and Kuala Terengganu on 90.9MHz by next year to celebrate together with their 30 years anniversary of broadcasting since 1988.

Actually Best FM was only for Johor, Melaka and parts of Negeri Sembilan/Pahang since 1988 until 1996. After that Best FM reaches coverage in Klang Valley to compete with THR FM, this causes South Perak, West Pahang can receive Best FM.

Following by the coverage expansion of Best FM likely in 2018, the last expansion was in 1996 by launching in Gunung Ulu Kali for Klang Valley in 1996.

Best FM will turn its 30 years anniversary in 2018....

30 tahun Best FM bersiaran (1988-2018).

Review on Zayan FM programming content



Astro had recently launched its two new radio brands after acquisition of Red FM and Capital FM from The Star Media Group. Capital FM was rebranded to Gen Z targeted Chinese radio, known as goXUAN, meanwhile Red FM was rebranded as Zayan, Muslim targeted radio station.

First I would like to say congratulations to Astro for launching these two new radio brands, but there have somethings needs to improve, especially Zayan FM. Second, goXUAN and Zayan are playing same songs as trial transmission, they shall improve the playlist by hiring music director, but NEVER rely on online music survey like other radio station. It is common for temporary moment when they play same songs.

For these 3 days, I had been listening to these two new Astro radio stations. goXUAN is too young to me, not suitable for my listening taste (I listen to Melody FM most of the time in terms of Chinese radio station).

For Zayan FM, I tried to listen to Zayan FM ON and OFF for these 3 days. What I think about its programming and music playlist, all of them are just ordinary only like its sister stations, Era and Sinar. Briefly to hear that Zayan is targeting listeners who seeking positive content. I jokingly say Zayan airs positive content, then Era airs negative content lah? BUT no such thing, because every radio station delivers positive content, radio is also educating tool actually. Clarify that Zayan just airs more positive inputs than Era and Sinar to comply with their branding.

Before Astro launched Zayan FM, many listeners expected Astro will launch Islamic radio station like Ikim FM, even I also guess that Zayan FM will become companion
radio station of Astro Oasis (Astro's Islamic TV channel on CH106), but unfortunately Zayan is very less companion to Astro Oasis, instead just another slapstick like Era and Hot FM from Media Prima.

I feel that Malaysia has too much of slapstick on radio airwaves, but I'm very glad to hear that BFM 89.9, Melody FM, Lite FM, Bernama Radio 24 and Radio Klasik provide alternative to listeners who get sick of "nonsense" slapstick on other airwaves. I understand that most of the radio stations provide slapstick to make listeners happy all the time, but sometimes their slapstick are not funny, and not fit to some listeners.

Could I say Malaysians love slapstick radio?

In my review, Zayan is just a normal radio station, considered soft version of Era. Regarding its current music playlist, Zayan has nothing different with Era FM, even Sinar FM, although Zayan did not play classics yet. What I hear on Zayan is it plays more songs like Era, rather than Islamic songs as Zayan branding is targeting contemporary Muslims, aged 18-35 (not fit to conservative groups yet). Even Fast Furious 7 ending song "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa ft Charlie Puth is also aired on Zayan, which Era and Sinar play this song too. I was very speechless..

Zayan plays same music genre like Era, wouldn't both kill each other in terms listenership rating because play same contemporary songs? This can confuse many Malay young listeners because they can't listen to either Era or Zayan consistently.

Zayan FM looks like Malay version of Mix FM or Lite FM (minus with classic hits), rather than Islamic radio station.

In my opinion, as a Muslim oriented radio station, Zayan shall play Islamic music (aka Nasyid) and airing Islamic related content, rather than slapstick and crappy contemporary songs like other station. Ikim FM, an Islamic radio station by Institut Kefahaman Islam Malaysia (IKIM) are very successful in Malaysia, it is very popular among Muslim community in Malaysia, because Ikim FM did not air slapstick on its station.



At the same time, Astro Radio has another radio streaming platform, known as Raku. This radio streaming platform Raku also has Islamic online radio station, looks like companion of Astro Oasis, it is known as Oasis Radio. For my suggestion, Oasis Radio shall merge its content (playlists and programming) into Zayan, rather than stand alone online radio station.

==Few things are needed to improve by Zayan FM==

1. Rather than slapstick talks like Era, Zayan shall air Islamic talks, and documentaries (such as Islamic affairs, history, interview with the preachers aka Imam/Ustaz). A documentary talk about Islam around the world can be considered on Zayan.
2. Zayan can add some interesting supplements for Muslims like Carta Nasyid Zayan, Nasyid Retro Zayan (from 1980s till 2000s), and Quran commentary programmes especially prayer time.
3. Quran commentary and talk show (Tazkirah) can be aired on prayer time such as 0500 hours, 1300 hours, 1900 hours.
4. To comply its branding, Zayan can be merged content from Oasis Radio where only available on Raku.
5. Islamic related drama could be aired on its programme.

==Suggested programme for Zayan==
- Quran commentary: daily 5am, 1pm, 7pm together with prayer (azan)
- Tazkirah aka Islamic talk show by preachers (Ustaz): daily after prayer [based on RTM state stations]
- Carta Nasyid Zayan: Open votes for listener to vote their favorite Islamic songs, then air on chart show
- Nasyid Retro Zayan: Playing Islamic songs from 1980s till 2000s, but source may be limited unless include international ones regardless any languages like Arabic, English, Urdu, or Chinese.
- Nasyid cover di Zayan: A cover version of Nasyid band songs. Example: A Malay student from IIUM sings cover version of "Raihan - Senyum", then air on Zayan. Even Nasyid competition at campus or school can be aired on Zayan by singing cover songs.

I don't want to see Zayan becomes Malay version of "Capital FM" (English language feminist radio station). Capital FM was used to be women radio station, but due to its poor content programming, it became loss making radio station and ceased by Star on October 2015. Now Capital FM becomes goXUAN. If Zayan is still slapstick like Era in terms of programming and playlist, I may reckon that Zayan can become like Capital FM and Astro former radio station Xfresh, which are loss making radio stations and led to close operation. 

In conclusion, since Zayan is still new on airwaves, together with goXUAN. We shall give them chance to improve their programming and playlist. It is impossible to become Perfect 10 during first day. Just like getting a new job, it is impossible that you can know all the company job task operation at the first day, you may need time to learn it, even take more time to get your achievement. Zayan and goXUAN are just only within a week, it is impossible that they can fly to the sky at the first step. (Chinese literally: 一步登天). They need some time to improve their programming and playlist. What I posted above are only my review, opinion and further suggestion to improve the content. I hope Zayan will make some revolution on its content to provide better content to listeners. NOT AN ORDINARY.

goXUAN 新山頻率



Astro在2017年10月2日推出第三家中文電台"goXUAN" (夠炫).

現階段, Melody FM在新山有兩個頻率. 第一個是98.4MHz, 第二個是103.3MHz.

Melody FM 98.4和103.3的發射地點不同, 98.4是來自Gunung Pulai, 103.3MHz是新山市中心的Metropolis Tower. 其實Melody FM在新山都是可以聽到98.4MHz, 反而Melody FM的103.3已經沒有必要存在.

在我的看法, Astro必須把Melody FM的新山頻率103.3改成goXUAN.. Capital FM被Astro收購後, 原本是沒有新山頻率, 加上新山的103.3也屬於Astro (Melody FM), 所以Astro會比較容易把103.3的programming改成給goXUAN. 至少不會像首要媒體的Kool FM要在新山設有頻率遇到很大的困難.

老實說, goXUAN是屬於Astro, 所以Astro可以用Melody FM的新山頻率103.3放在goXUAN, 但是新山的Melody FM聽眾可以通過98.4繼續收聽.

==Astro中文電台新山頻率==

95.4MHz: MY FM (Gn Pulai)
98.4MHz: Melody FM (Gn Pulai)
103.3MHz: goXUAN 夠炫 (Metropolis Tower; 屬於個人的意見)

在其他柔佛地區方面, goXUAN可能需要接收柔佛北部Gn Ledang的訊號, 103.3Mhz可能變成印度台.

goXUAN Johor Bahru frequency



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)

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.
