Kelantan FM old Gua Musang frequency: FM 88.9MHz Taman Wangi, then Bukit Chupak was 89.1MHz before 92.0MHz.

 

Before Kelantan FM runs a stable transmission in Gua Musang on its current FM 92.0MHz from Bukit Chupak tower, actually Kelantan FM had two frequencies previously in the town, excluding FM 88.1MHz Paloh.

 

When you look at old database on FMScan.org, RTM Kelantan FM operated two transmitters in Gua Musang town, such as FM 88.9MHz Taman Wangi and FM 89.1MHz Bukit Chupak, both were operating at 100W transmitter power.

On Asiawaves.net, Kelantan FM Bukit Chupak 89.1MHz transmission operated until June 2000 before migrating to FM 92.0MHz.

 

Before establishment of Bukit Chupak transmitter, RTM first Gua Musang transmitter was located in Taman Wangi. According to my friend, FM 88.9MHz was carried by RTM Radio 1 (now Radio Klasik) before being switched to Kelantan FM. 

 

Kelantan FM Taman Wangi frequency was on 88.9MHz. The transmitter was permanently terminated as 92.0MHz from Bukit Chupak can cover entire Gua Musang town till Merapoh, Pahang.

 

Here is the transmitter information of Kelantan FM 88.9MHz.

As the coverage of Kelantan FM 88.9MHz Taman Wangi transmitter was same as current FM 92.0MHz Bukit Chupak transmitter, RTM closed down FM 88.9MHz Taman Wangi transmission permanently, hence this could help RTM to save transmission cost.

 

Apart of radio broadcast, RTM did have analogue TV transmitter in Taman Wangi previously. 

 

TV1: CH21 (UHF 471.25MHz)

TV2: CH25 (UHF 503.25MHz) 

 

Listeners in Taman Wangi area now receive Kelantan FM on 92.0MHz from Bukit Chupak. 

 

The current status of FM 88.9MHz in Gua Musang is a weak radio signal of GoXUAN FM 88.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.

 

Before rebranding to GoXUAN in October 2017, Capital FM 88.9MHz was available partly in Gua Musang town, Kelantan after termination of Kelantan FM 88.9MHz Taman Wangi transmission.
