According to Asiawaves.net, by reading the list of Narathiwat radio stations, SV Sound Media Limited Partnership owns two radio stations in Narathiwat province, Thailand where just sit beside Kelantan, Malaysia.
- Kon Tak Bai Radio (คนตากใบ เรดิโอ) FM 88.75MHz
- SV Sound Radio (SV Sound เรดิโอ) FM 107.0MHz
The company is based in Tambon Phron, Tak Bai District, Narathiwat Province, Thailand.
On its website www.kontakbairadio.net, it seems online streaming run only 1 station. Hence, I choose to listen to FM 88.75MHz Kon Tak Bai Radio online as part of content monitoring. Then, I wait to record the radio station ident jingle.
I understand little of Thai languages, based on ident, it literally says "Here is the radio station of Kon Tak Bai Radio FM 88.75MHz Tak Bai district, and radio station of SV Sound Radio FM 107.00MHz Sungai Golok district, Narathiwat province".
Thai script will be "ที่นี่ สถานีวิทยุกระจายเสียงคนตากใบ วิทยุ FM 88.75MHz อำเภอตากใบ และสถานีวิทยุกระจายเสียง SV Sound Radio FM 107.00MHz อำเภอสุไหงโกลก จังหวัดนราธิวาส".
By hearing the ident, as both radio stations are under a company, hence SV Sound Radio FM 107.0MHz is likely a repeater of Kon Tak Bai Radio in Sungai Golok, Thailand.
From what I think, SV Sound Media Limited Partnership is holding community radio station license, but the license may not allow one radio station to broadcast in two locations, instead operate two different radio stations in different locations.
As the ident mentions two radio stations at the same time, I also think both simulcast each other. In addition, to get further verification, I request Kelantan friends to identify them by confirming whether same content or not.
Based on Senn Lens' reception video of FM 107.0MHz in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, the signal is a bit weaker, it is likely impossible that the frequency is transmitted from Tak Bai. By referring the ident, FM 107.0MHz is likely from Sungai Golok as low power radio broadcast in the district. Besides that, Kelantan FM 107.1MHz from Bukit Bintang faces interference from SV Sound Radio FM 107.0MHz Sungai Golok transmitter in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
