BFM 89.9MHz is Malaysia English business radio station in Malaysia. About of its coverage via radio frequency, BFM 89.9MHz covers Klang Valley, South Perak, West Pahang, and parts of Negeri Sembilan, Melaka as well as some Johor areas.
For other areas, BFM already made application of Penang frequency in the past, but rejected by regulator due to unavailable frequency. Therefore, BFM launched its mobile app to provide alternative to listeners who stay outside of Klang Valley. In 2017, BFM also launched mobile app on Apple Car Play platform.
It is common to heard that BFM 89.9 can be listened around the world by using mobile applications and online streaming, but it is uncommon to heard that BFM 89.9 is available outside of Malaysia via radio frequency.
In neighboring countries like Singapore, Brunei and South Thailand, we still can receive Malaysia radio stations when leave the Malaysia border due to overspilled signal, but we may not know that BFM 89.9 is accessible in Indonesia through the radio receiver.
Let me to explain and analyze. Although Indonesia is not main market for BFM 89.9 as it is Malaysia business radio station, but actually BFM 89.9 is available in Indonesia via terrestrial radio. BFM 89.9 actually is transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali, due to its high peak transmitter sites. BFM 89.9MHz is not only available in Klang Valley, Central-South Perak, parts of Negeri Sembilan, parts of Melaka and small Johor areas, but it can overspill the signal to Indonesia territories such as Dumai, Rupat, Bengkalis, Medan, Tanjung Balai, Tebing Tinggi, Bagansiapiapi and Berkey.
Coincidentally, BFM 89.9MHz enters Indonesian market. Jokingly say that Indonesians can learn business matters and know the headlines from Malaysia by listening BFM 89.9 via radio.
Internationally, BFM 89.9MHz is available in parts of Indonesia territory via terrestrial radio such as:
- Dumai
- Rupat
- Bengkalis
- Medan
- Tanjung Balai
