KCS Radio had hit the airwaves in Narathiwat, Thailand on the frequency FM 96.0MHz by taking over former MCOT Narathiwat frequency slot since August 2022.

 

The Thailand radio broadcaster MCOT Radio announced to cease its provincial radio station, MCOT Narathiwat FM 96.0MHz on 10th April 2022, and MCOT informed that Narathiwat listeners can follow MCOT Radio broadcast via MCOT Yala FM 102.5MHz and MCOT Pattani FM 91.0MHz in that province.

 

After 4 months from the date of MCOT Narathiwat FM 96.0MHz ceased its broadcast, there was a radio station taking over the frequency slot FM 96.0MHz.

KCS Radio began trial transmission in Narathiwat on FM 96.0MHz somewhere around in August 2022 and it went on air officially in September 2022.

 

Technically, KCS Radio takes over former MCOT Narathiwat FM 96.0MHz frequency slot.

 

Alongside Narathiwat, KCS Radio FM 96.0MHz can be tuned in part of Kelantan, Malaysia. This radio station can be received in several Kelantan areas such as:

 

1. Kota Bharu

2. Tumpat

3. Pengkalan Chepa

4. Pengkalan Kubor

5. Wakaf Bharu

6. Rantau Panjang 

7. Part of Bachok 

 

My friend from Kelantan recorded a video of receiving KCS Radio Narathiwat FM 96.0MHz in Bachok, Kelantan and sent me privately, then I published on my YouTube channel with the credit and courtesy.

 

Signal reception is moderately clear in Bachok, Kelantan, Malaysia.

 

- Frequency: FM 96.0MHz

- Power: 1kW

- Transmission site: Mueang Narathiwat District, Narathiwat Province, Thailand

- Receiving site: Bachok, Kelantan, Malaysia

- Distance: 78km 

 

About the transmission site, as the propagation is not strong as FM 94.75MHz and Radio Thailand Narathiwat FM 98.25MHz, I may believe KCS Radio FM 96.0MHz is transmitted from either former MCOT Radio Narathiwat tower or all-new site without modifying the transmission power and antenna system parameters.
