Asyik FM and Radio Klasik expand on MYTV myFreeview platform




On 30th December 2018, RTM had expanded two nationwide radio stations on MYTV digital terrestrial television platform (myFreeview), since 2300 hours, alongside RTM News HD.



Before Radio Klasik and Asyik FM are available on MYTV platform, there had only 4 RTM radio stations on MYTV such as Nasional FM, Ai FM, Traxx FM and Minnal FM.

In my opinion, RTM had a very good initiative to expand both on MYTV platform, especially Asyik FM. Before Asyik FM is available on MYTV platform, neglect its availability on Astro CH875 and RTM myKlik mobile app, Asyik FM had limited coverage on FM radio platform. In addition, Asyik FM does not broadcast nationwide as other RTM radio stations.

Good move on RTM. With MYTV platform, Orang Asli who stay outside of Asyik FM existing frequencies coverage can listen to Asyik FM via MYTV DTTV platform, they can buy MYTV set-top-box, UHF antenna, a TV and 1 HiFi with AUX function. They can plug RCA red and white cables from MYTV set-top-box to HiFi RCA jack, meanwhile yellow RCA cable is plugged from MYTV set-top-box to TV yellow video RCA jack.

Although RTM has launched Asyik FM on MYTV platform, but to me, RTM still needs to expand Asyik FM coverage on FM radio where I suggested before such as:

* 107.7MHz Changkat Rembian (Central-South Perak)
* 100.8MHz Bukit Sembilan (East Pahang)
* 105.5MHz Bukit Kayu Ara (Kuala Pilah, Tanjung Ipoh, Johol, Batu Kikir)
* 107.5MHz Sungai Siput (U)
* 102.2MHz Batu 18 Hulu Langat (for Hulu Langat, but optional)

For channel numbering of both radio stations on MYTV platform, Radio Klasik is on CH705, meanwhile Asyik FM is on CH706.

Congratulations to RTM for expanding Asyik FM and Radio Klasik on MYTV.
