Astro THR Gegar is available in Johor via FM radio 88.8MHz?


Astro Malay language east coast radio station, Gegar is currently available in North Kelantan, Terengganu and East Pahang, but actually some of Johor areas can receive Gegar through FM radio.

In Segamat, apart of Astro DVR CH863, Gegar can be listened via FM 88.8MHz from Bukit Pelindung, Kuantan, but the reception of THR Gegar in Segamat is less clear and it may have interference from Traxx FM 88.7MHz Gunung Telapak Burok.

Here is the video that I help my friend from Segamat to publish on YouTube:



Alongside Segamat, THR Gegar FM 88.8MHz from Bukit Pelindung is also received in Simpang Renggam, Johor, but it is not clear as received in Segamat. If Gegar FM 88.8MHz Bukit Pelindung transmitter is increased to 2kW and added with more bays antennas, the coverage could be much wider and overspill to many part of Northeast Johor region.



In conclusion, outside of east coast, THR Gegar can be tuned in part of Johor (mainly Segamat) on FM 88.8MHz from Bukit Pelindung.



Since its rival radio station Manis FM already expanded coverage to Central Pahang on 103.8MHz from Bukit Senggora, I suggest Astro Radio to expand Gegar coverage to West Pahang by installing transmitter in Fraser's Hill at 1kW power on FM 107.9MHz. So, the coverage of Gegar will be wider than Manis FM in Pahang.
