OOGA X (formerly known as Cense Media Sdn Bhd) will launch Kupi-Kupi FM Sarawak on 92.5MHz in Kuching? Frequency slot is taken over from CityPlus FM Kuching which ceased transmission 2.5 years ago.

The Chinese business radio station CityPlus FM 106.0MHz in Seremban has been on air for 5 years since 2nd May 2017, meanwhile CityPlus FM Kuching broadcast 92.5MHz launched in May 2018, but it was closed down in May 2020.


After CityPlus FM closed down its Kuching frequency FM 92.5MHz transmission, FM 92.5MHz went off air since May 2020.

 

Its Facebook page content is mostly relaying CityPlus FM main page.

Today morning, after I wake up, I check my phone message and Facebook notifications, I have spotted CityPlus FM Kuching Facebook page is renamed as "Kupi-Kupi FM Sarawak". It is giving hints that OOGA X (formerly known as Cense Media Sdn Bhd) would launch a new radio station to deliver Sarawak local ethnics content on the frequency FM 92.5MHz in Kuching.


OOGA X also operates Kupi-Kupi FM 96.3MHz in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Its main language is Sabahan Malay, but it plays Kadazan-Dusun, Murut, Bajau songs like RTM Sabah VFM does.


From what I have analyzed is "Kupi-Kupi FM Sarawak 92.5MHz" will likely broadcast in Ibanese, Bidayuh and Sarawakian Malay language like Cats FM, and RTM Wai FM.

 

Kupi-Kupi FM Sarawak 92.5MHz (Kuching) is expected to compete against Cats FM.

 

In Sarawak, alongside Malay language, Ibanese is the largest local language among all, following by Bidayuh, Kenyah, and Kayan.


The official launch is still unknown yet, but I believe Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz Kuching will start trial transmission first before going on air officially.


FM 92.5MHz transmitter site will remain same location, Bukit Djin.


For your information, Kupi-Kupi FM Sarawak will take over FM 92.5MHz slot which its former radio station CityPlus FM Kuching has been switched off for more than 2 years.


Here are the screenshot that I have spotted today morning.
