SIBU (29th April 2019): According to Info Sibu Facebook page, the Malaysia no.1 commercial radio broadcaster, Astro Radio has expanded coverage for its popular radio brands Hitz, Era and MY in Sibu, Sarawak.

This is latest coverage expansion by Astro Radio in the state after the broadcaster expanded coverage in Miri for MY, HITZ, and ERA since August 2013, meanwhile Sinar and Mix (later replaced by Melody) reached coverage in Miri.

After 5.5 years from the coverage expansion in Miri, now Astro MY, HITZ and ERA are available in Sibu.

I may believe Sinar and Melody will be available in Sibu later when there is demand in Sibu.

With the coverage expansion in Sibu, listeners are able to access HITZ, MY and ERA in the area via FM radio, regardless indoor, outdoor or in the car.

ASTRO Radio is the third commercial broadcaster to be available in Sibu officially to end RTM monopoly since 29th April 2019. Cats FM is the first Sarawak based commercial broadcaster to air in Sibu, meanwhile Sarawak based Chinese-English radio broadcaster TEA FM launched in Sibu frequency FM 100.7MHz since December 2016. This provides alternative and more choices to Sibu listeners.

Here are the Astro Radio no.1 brands Sibu frequency list:

- ERA Sarawak 96.3FM

- HITZ Sarawak 105.1FM

- MY Sarawak 105.9FM

Same as TEA FM 100.7MHz, three of them are transmitted from Bukit Lima where mainly covers Sibu town.
