Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Batam PRO-3 has changed frequency to FM 88.6MHz



In Batam, the Indonesia public radio broadcaster Radio Republik Indonesia operates three provincial radio stations, named RRI Batam.

Pro1 is targeting adult and elderly listeners (Information, Culture, Education), Pro2 is hot contemporary music and lifestyle radio station to target younger listeners, Pro3 is Jakarta relay talk, current affairs and news radio station.

RRI Batam PRO-1 is on FM 105.1MHz, and PRO-2 is on FM 105.5MHz, meanwhile there is RRI Batam PRO-3 news radio station in Batam.



RRI Batam PRO-3 was used to change frequency multiple times, from FM 105.1MHz to FM 90.9MHz. Now, RRI Batam Pro-3 operates on FM 88.6MHz since 2019.

No idea what is the reason RRI Batam Pro-3 changes frequency from 90.9 to 88.6 since 2019.... I detected it in Singapore, the reception of RRI Batam Pro-3 FM 88.6MHz is not good as other Batam radio stations, I need to use longer wire antenna to receive the radio station for better reception.



Due to weak reception of RRI Batam Pro-3 FM 88.6MHz in Singapore, I believe RRI Batam Pro-3 FM 88.6MHz operates low power transmission and directional antenna. The transmission of FM 88.6MHz in Batam by using directional antenna is to avoid interference to two Singapore radio stations Jia FM 88.3 and BBC World Service 88.9.

==RRI Batam radio station lists==
* Pro-1: FM 105.1MHz
* Pro-2: FM 105.5MHz
* Pro-3: FM 88.6MHz
