The Malaysia's no.1 Tamil radio station, Raaga, operated by Astro Radio currently broadcasts in West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, meanwhile it has no any tuning frequencies in East Coast Peninsular Malaysia (Kuantan, Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu) because of Gegar (East Coast Malay radio station) broadcasts there.
Due to broadcast license condition, Astro is unable to expand coverage of Raaga in East Coast Malaysia, hence Raaga has no Kuantan frequency, but in fact Raaga's listeners are still able to tune to Raaga in part of Kuantan by tuning the frequency to FM 99.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.
Raaga is available in part of Kuantan on FM 99.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.
Although the reception of Raaga 99.3MHz is not clear as Bukit Pelindung radio station, but listeners can tune it in Kuantan.
Thanks to my friend from Kuantan for the footage.
* Frequency: FM 99.3MHz
* Power: 2kW
* Transmitter site: Gunung Ulu Kali, Pahang
* Receiving site: Taman Inderapura, Kuantan, Pahang
* Distance: 168km
It is perfect if Astro can expand Raaga FM coverage to Kuantan, but unfortunately this cannot be done due to license condition. The broadcast license can be terminated if a broadcaster breaches the condition, unless MCMC allows to do so.
For listeners who are looking for Raaga tuning frequency in Kuantan, but unable to search it on website, you may try tuning the frequency to FM 99.3MHz in Kuantan and listen to Raaga via radio.
