Verified: New Thailand radio station FM 97.5MHz is transmitted from Sungai Golok, to be launched soon.

On February 2020, we had highlighted regarding there is an unknown radio station FM 97.5MHz in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia, we suspected FM 97.5MHz is transmitted either from Amphoe Mueang Narathiwat or Sungai Golok.

To find out more, I organized a survey post regarding FM 97.5MHz unknown Thailand radio station on my YouTube channel Philip Yong DXer Malaysia to open for anyone to vote, majority votes are stating that FM 97.5MHz is from Sungai Golok.

By watching these two videos, uploaded by Senn Lens, actually FM 97.5MHz was playing Thai pop songs where he recorded on weekend. In Kota Bharu and Sungai Golok, the radio station FM 97.5MHz signal is very clear.

For your information, the new Thailand radio station in Sungai Golok FM 97.5MHz is expected to be launched by Q3 2020 or Q4 2020, currently it is still under trial transmission, FM 97.5MHz Sungai Golok is given trial transmission license by NBTC Thailand as I predict. Besides that, due to COVID-19 outbreak around the world including Thailand, so FM 97.5MHz Sungai Golok radio station launching will be delayed until COVID-19 pandemic is fully solved. As I predict Q3 or Q4 2020 will be the date for FM 97.5MHz official on-air in Sungai Golok, but the official launching of the radio station may be delayed much longer.

FM 97.5MHz maybe a low/medium power Sungai Golok radio station (0.5-1kW), as it has 200kHz frequency separation from RTM Kelantan FM 97.3MHz Bukit Bakar which cover Central Kelantan, but I believe Sungai Golok FM 97.5MHz will not interfere the coverage of Kelantan FM 97.3MHz because it is using lower power transmitter system. Moreover, Kelantan FM can be tuned in Kota Bharu and North Kelantan loudly and clearly on FM 102.9MHz from RTM Kota Bharu when main transmitter FM 97.3MHz Bukit Bakar is interfered.

Regarding FM 97.5MHz Thailand radio station actual content, we have to wait its official broadcast and check it out. As COVID-19 pandemic is not fully solved yet, let's pray that the virus will be killed and disappeared as soon as possible. To the readers, please stay safe. If there is no necessary or emergency matter, please stay at home.
