RTM Selangor FM owns two sub-radio stations technically for universities campus, such as UFM 93.6MHz (UiTM Shah Alam) and Putra FM 90.7MHz (UPM)

RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) Selangor FM broadcasts on 100.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali for Selangor state, it is also available in Southern Perak, West Pahang (Bentong) and part of Negeri Sembilan/Melaka on same frequency. However, technically RTM Selangor FM has two sub stations as campus radio.

The sub-radio stations of Selangor FM that I mention are UiTM Shah Alam UFM 93.6MHz and UPM Putra FM 90.7MHz.

 

UPM Putra FM 90.7MHz is also known as RTM Selangor FM Saluran UPM, actually it is part of RTM Selangor FM, thus it is UPM campus radio station. This is because UPM (Universiti Putra Malaysia) and RTM signed MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to launch Putra FM 90.7MHz on April 1998. In technical terms, Putra FM 90.7MHz transmitter and antenna systems are owned by UPM itself, but the frequency is owned by RTM (Jabatan Penyiaran Malaysia).

Next, UiTM Shah Alam UFM 93.6MHz, unofficially it is known as RTM Selangor FM Saluran UiTM Shah Alam, but during UFM 93.6MHz early broadcast, it was known as Radio 3 Shah Alam Siaran ITM (former name of UiTM) in 1997, then renamed to Radio Malaysia Selangor Siaran ITM. Later, it was renamed to Trek 936, now UFM 93.6 since 2001.

The former name of Selangor FM was Radio 3 Shah Alam and Radio Malaysia Selangor in 1990's till 2005, but UiTM UFM 93.6MHz first name was RTM Radio 3 Shah Alam Siaran ITM. It is first sub-station of Selangor FM (Radio 3 Shah Alam in 1990's) as Malaysia first campus radio station before Putra FM. Technically, same as Putra FM, although transmitter and antenna system of UFM 93.6MHz are belonged to UiTM Shah Alam, but UFM 93.6MHz frequency and license are owned by RTM Selangor.

Therefore, RTM Selangor has three radio stations.

1. Selangor FM 100.9MHz as RTM main radio station for Selangor to target mass listeners in Selangor.

2. Selangor FM Saluran UPM (Putra FM 90.7MHz) as Universiti Putra Malaysia campus radio station to target UPM students and listeners in Serdang, Kajang, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Balakong and part of Kuala Lumpur (Bukit Jalil, Seri Petaling, Salak South, Desa Petaling, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuchai Lama and Bangsar)

3. Selangor FM Saluran UiTM Shah Alam (UFM 93.6MHz) as Universiti Teknologi Mara Shah Alam campus radio station to target UiTM Shah Alam students and listeners in Shah Alam, but available in Puchong, Subang Jaya, Klang, Petaling Jaya, Klang, Sungai Buloh, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Seri Kembangan and part of Kuala Lumpur.

By comparing Selangor FM's campus radio stations coverage, Saluran UiTM Shah Alam UFM 93.6MHz is wider than Saluran UPM Putra FM 90.7MHz. Next, I will publish article to list down their coverage availability.

Putra FM 90.7 and UFM 93.6 don't broadcast 24 hours a day actually. Technically, as they're part of RTM Selangor FM, actually Putra FM 90.7 and UFM 93.6 can relay RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz program during non-broadcasting hours.

In terms of broadcasting hours, UFM 93.6MHz has longer broadcast hours than Putra FM 90.7MHz. UFM 93.6MHz is still playing music after 6pm, while Putra FM 90.7 goes off air in silent mode after 6pm.
