RTM radio stations in Langkawi, Kedah

RTM has two FM radio stations in Langkawi, transmitted from Gunung Raya, they're Langkawi FM 104.8MHz and Kedah FM 105.7MHz, excluding Langkawi FM RTM Kuah 87.5MHz which is low power repeater for Kuah (target underwater).

For other RTM radio stations such as Radio Klasik, Nasional FM, Traxx FM, Ai FM and Minnal FM in Langkawi, they have no Gunung Raya repeater. These radio stations can be tuned only from Gunung Jerai, but available only in few locations within Langkawi Island such as Kuah.

Radio Klasik FM 94.9MHz, Nasional FM 100.5MHz, Traxx FM 98.7MHz, Ai FM 101.3MHz and Minnal FM 96.7MHz. 

In certain Langkawi locations, these radio stations could be clashed by Thailand radio stations, especially Radio Klasik FM 94.9MHz which is interfered by Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz, but alternatively Radio Klasik can be tuned via FM 88.7MHz from Bukit Palong (Baling, Kedah) which is much further than Gunung Jerai.

When RTM national radio stations cannot be received in Langkawi, they can be received via MYTV on digital terrestrial television platform, but for radio, only two stations Radio Klasik and Nasional FM maybe tuned alternatively from Bukit Palong on 88.7MHz and 89.7MHz respectively.

It is impossible to tune to RTM Ai FM 92.5MHz, Traxx FM 91.7MHz and Minnal FM 93.3MHz there because the frequencies are overlapped by Hitz FM 92.4MHz Gunung Raya, Thailand Police Radio Station from Tha Phae FM 91.75MHz and MCOT Satun FM 93.25MHz.

As Nasional FM is the RTM flagship radio station, Langkawi FM 104.8MHz can relay Nasional FM during its non-broadcasting hours, rather than duplicate relay from Kedah FM as Kedah FM has 105.7MHz.

If Radio Klasik FM 94.9MHz and Nasional FM 100.5MHz from Gunung Jerai are not receivable in Langkawi, you may try these below:

1. Radio Klasik FM 88.7MHz
2. Nasional FM 89.7MHz

At the moment, it is impossible to launch RTM five national radio stations by having repeater in Gunung Raya because unavailable spectrum and the listeners. Langkawi has more Malay residents, compare with Chinese and Indians. In addition, Langkawi frequency planning need to do more Thailand frequency studies as it is located nearby Thailand border.
