It is almost a year where Molek FM took over 8FM (now Eight FM) Kuantan frequency 100.4MHz.
Although Eight FM is unavailable of its Kuantan frequency currently, but this Chinese radio station can be tuned in Pekan and part of Kuantan via Klang Valley frequency 88.1MHz (transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali).
On 27th August 2023, I went to Terengganu, but I dropped by Pekan and Kuantan for breakfast and also filming Eight FM 88.1MHz signal videos there due to Eight FM's Kuantan frequency 100.4MHz was taken over by Molek FM on 2nd October 2022.
From Kuantan to Pekan, the signal of Eight FM 88.1MHz is moderate, but it has mild adjacent channel interference with Pahang FM 88.0MHz from Muadzam Shah's Bukit Sembilan when I reached Pekan town.
After the breakfast and ready to depart to Kuala Terengganu, I dropped by Kuantan city center to film Eight FM 88.1MHz signal video.
In Kuantan, Eight FM 88.1MHz signal is only up to the city center near Kuantan 188 and Jalan Wong Ah Jang with very weak reception. No signal is receivable when I tune near Beserah and Kuantan areas near Bukit Pelindung.
Dear Eight FM's listeners in Kuantan, you can try tuning the frequency to 88.1MHz, but I cannot guarantee it can be tuned in all Kuantan areas.
Although Kuantan is still having empty frequency slots for FM radio broadcast, but in order to relaunch Eight FM in Kuantan, MCMC should release 1 frequency to Media Prima Audio. So, the listeners can tune to Eight FM in Kuantan on local frequency, instead of 88.1MHz.
Seriously I hope MCMC will award 1 frequency to Media Prima for Eight FM in Kuantan as soon as possible.
Here are the videos of receiving Eight FM 88.1 in Kuantan and Pekan, including my speech video in Chinese Mandarin.
