Astro should expand Melody FM coverage to Sibu, Sarawak by having Sibu frequency.

On 29th April 2019, we already noticed that Astro Radio Sdn Bhd (ARSB) expanded Sarawak branch Era FM, MY FM and Hitz FM coverage in Sibu. 

Era FM 96.3MHz, My FM 105.9MHz and Hitz FM 105.1MHz, they're transmitted from Bukit Lima.

As Melody FM is Chinese classic hits radio stations, currently it has two frequencies in Sarawak, such as FM 103.7MHz in Kuching (Bukit Djin) and FM 102.4MHz Miri (Bukit Lambir), meanwhile Melody FM has the frequencies in Kota Kinabalu on FM 98.6MHz from Bukit Karatong and Sandakan on FM 102.2MHz from Bukit Trig too.

In my opinion, Melody FM should be expanded its coverage to Sibu, Sarawak. Notice that Sibu has many Chinese residents, so the town can have more Chinese radio stations apart from RTM Ai FM, RTM Red FM, Tea FM, MY FM...



Astro only expanded MY FM (Sarawak) in Sibu, it sounds unfair to Melody FM actually. Although Melody FM can be listened in Sibu, Sarawak via alternative platform such as Syok app, and Astro CH858, but traditional platform (FM radio) is needed actually.
