The similarities of programmes between City Plus FM and BFM 89.9




City Plus FM and BFM 89.9 are business talk radio stations in Malaysia, the difference between these two radio stations are the broadcast languages. City Plus FM broadcasts in Chinese Mandarin, meanwhile BFM 89.9 broadcasts in English (but Malay broadcast is from 11pm till 6am).

I do notice that some of programmes are almost same genre and content between City Plus FM and BFM 89.9, just different languages. Here are the similar programs between City Plus FM and BFM 89.9.

* A+ 人物= Breakfast Grille on CEO of SMEs or giant company
* 問政 = Breakfast Grille on politicians, and ministers
* 城市方向盤= Cruise Control
* 地球轉一圈 = Business Headlines
* 財經+ = Biz Talk
* 科技360 = Tech Talk
* 城市天際線 = The Property Show
* 理財怎麼辦 = Ringgit & Sense
* 中場休息, 來電音樂 = untitled*
* 閱讀天下 = Bookmark
* 我們旅行中 = Ticket To Ride*
* 下班吃甚麼 = Feeding Time*
* 聽爵享受 = Take Five

* 主編點新聞 = Current affairs 
 * 就差你一票 = Talkback (partially)

*BFM Ticket To Ride, Feeding Time and Untitled were discontinued

Despite too many mainstream radio stations in Malaysia "overplayed" crappy stuffs on air, but Malaysia needs some radio stations to cover serious topics, rather than those "act-cute", slapstick, prank call, gossips and other nonsense contents.

City Plus FM has Chinese version of BFM 89.9 Take Five which plays jazz music on every Friday from 9pm till 10pm, known as 聽爵享受 (Enjoying the jazz). I like this segment as the songs sound like "coffee shop" music.
