In Penang, 988 FM can be received on FM 94.5MHz from Bukit Penara, FM 96.1MHz from Gunung Jerai and FM 101.0MHz Bukit Larut.
988 FM 101.0MHz Bukit Larut actually for North Perak, but it can be received in South Penang.
Normally Penang can receive radio station signal clearly on Gunung Jerai frequency. MY FM, Melody FM and One FM are transmitted from Gunung Jerai. Actually 988 operated two frequencies for Penang since 1996, but FM 96.1MHz Gunung Jerai is basically for Kedah and Perlis. Then, 988 has Penang frequency in Bukit Penara on 94.5MHz.
Since 988 can be received in Penang clearly and loudly via FM 96.1MHz from Gunung Jerai, in my opinion, 988 can close down its Penang frequency 94.5MHz. My suggestion to abolish 988 Penang frequency 94.5 may help 988 to save transmission costs, even it can free up the frequency. Therefore, new player can use 94.5 in Bukit Penara when reach Penang.
Following my suggestion of City Plus FM Penang frequency by using Bukit Larut 93.1MHz frequency previously, although Penang still can receive Bukit Larut signal, but it may not be perfect much. If 988 abolishes Penang frequency 94.5MHz and return the frequency to MCMC, I may think that City Plus FM or BFM can use 94.5MHz in Penang.
Same goes to Astro THR Raaga which has two frequencies where can be received in Penang, 102.4MHz Gunung Jerai and 99.3MHz Bukit Penara. Seriously the reception of THR Raaga 102.4MHz is very clear in Penang, actually 99.3MHz should be closed down in Penang.
I got use 96.1 in Penang but the signal is not that good even though the transmitter is 10kw but the signal is not always clear and the static sounds are very high pitch so 94.5 is better
