RTM Terengganu FM Felda Cerul 90.0MHz is officially closed down.

 

RTM Terengganu FM officially closed down Felda Cerul frequency transmission FM 90.0MHz. Now, Terengganu FM remains only 5 transmitters in its frequencies lineup to cover entire Terengganu state.

 

1. FM 88.7MHz Bukit Besar: Central Terengganu (Kuala Terengganu, Marang, Hulu Terengganu & Kuala Nerus)

2. FM 96.2MHz Bukit Bintang: North Terengganu (Besut & Setiu) dan Kelantan (Pasir Puteh, Bachok dan sebahagian Kota Bharu)

3. FM 97.7MHz Bukit Bauk: Dungun

4. FM 90.7MHz Bukit Kemuning: Kemaman dan Sebahagian Pahang Timur (Kuantan Utara)

5. FM 88.9MHz Felda Tenang: Hulu Besut

 

This is because Felda Cerul, Felda Neram, Perasing and Jabor where located in Kemaman district can receive Terengganu FM via Bukit Kemuning transmitter on the frequency FM 90.7MHz clearly.

 

While I was driving from Kuantan to Kemaman on 30th August 2022, the reception of Terengganu FM 90.7MHz was still clear in Beserah and Semambu where are not far from Terengganu border (Jabor).

In addition, when I was in Bukit Goh, no signal was detected on FM 90.0MHz from Terengganu FM from Felda Cerul. By generating Terengganu FM 90.0MHz Felda Cerul coverage map via Nautel RF Toolkit with entering simple transmission parameter, Bukit Goh was having Terengganu FM 90.0MHz coverage from Felda Cerul, however I could not hear any signal on that frequency in Bukit Goh, even Jabor and Semambu. Hence, I conclude that Terengganu FM 90.0MHz transmission was already switched off.

Looking at the frequency history, Terengganu FM 90.0MHz Felda Cerul transmitter was launched earlier than 90.7MHz from Bukit Kemuning.

FM 90.0MHz Felda Cerul was launched in somewhere around 2010, meanwhile FM 90.7MHz Bukit Kemuning was launched in 2015.

In conclusion, the entire Kemaman district is now covered by Terengganu FM 90.7MHz transmission from Bukit Kemuning after Felda Cerul FM 90.0MHz was closed down.
