Mix FM is still receivable in Balik Pulau, Penang via FM 91.3MHz from Bukit Larut, despite its main frequency FM 91.0MHz is "blocked" by RTM Mutiara FM 90.9MHz (Bukit Genting)

In the past blog articles, I mentioned about the interference between Mix FM 91.0MHz (Gunung Jerai) and RTM Mutiara FM 90.9MHz (Bukit Genting) in some Penang areas (notably Balik Pulau, and Teluk Kumbar), then I rolled out my recommendation to refrain from listening to interference signal for the listeners who tune in affected location by recommending FM 91.3MHz as alternative tuning frequency.

However, I finally see someone who named Senn Lens recently published his video of receiving Mix FM 91.3MHz from Bukit Larut in Balik Pulau, Penang on YouTube 2 days ago. Here is the video clip:

According to the video, it is same signal quality like what I received Mix FM 91.3MHz (Bukit Larut) in Balik Pulau on December 2013, but unfortunately I did not record the video. The receiving condition of Mix FM 91.3MHz from Bukit Larut is less clear in Balik Pulau as it consists with some statics, nevertheless at least it is much better than receiving Mix FM main Penang frequency FM 91.0MHz there which is "blocked" by RTM Mutiara FM 90.9MHz local transmitter (Bukit Genting).

Better than nothing.

I was told that currently there is no any complaints from Mix FM listeners to MCMC about receiving issues in Balik Pulau, Penang because I may believe that they already tuned to Mix FM on 91.3MHz from Bukit Larut in Balik Pulau for outdoor (in the car), meanwhile Astro/NJOI DVR CH855 (Satellite TV service) for indoor.
