Kuching radio stations' transmitter sites

In Kuching, the capital of Sarawak state, there are 3 transmitter sites operated by the radio stations in the city for radio broadcast transmission, but formerly it was 5 transmitter sites.

Currently Kuching has Gunung Serapi, Bukit Djin and Bukit Antu for radio broadcast transmission, meanwhile formerly Kuching has radio transmitter towers in Pending and Muara Tabuan where are belonged to CELCOM.

Gunung Serapi is the oldest radio broadcast transmitter site in Kuching, Sarawak, mainly operated by 10 radio stations following below:

2. RTM Nasional FM 88.1MHz

3. RTM Sarawak FM 88.9MHz

8. RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan FM 106.1MHz

9. Cats FM 99.3MHz

10. Hot FM 94.3MHz (Media Prima)

Meanwhile there are another transmitter sites located in Kuching town, but both towers are the neighbours, mostly operated by Kuching's commercial radio stations.

==Bukit Djin==

* Kupi-Kupi FM Sarawak FM 92.5MHz

* IKIM FM 93.7MHz

* Hitz FM 95.3MHz (ASTRO)

* Era FM 96.1MHz (ASTRO)

* MY FM 96.9MHz (ASTRO)

==Bukit Antu==

* Bernama Radio FM 100.9MHz

* Tea FM 102.7MHz

Bukit Antu and Bukit Djin radio towers are located together in same location at Lorong Batu Lintang in Kuching city, Sarawak.

Muara Tabuan was formerly operated by Astro Radio before moving to Bukit Djin, meanwhile Pending was operated by IKIM FM until 2016 before Bukit Djin.

None of commercial radio stations except Cats FM and Hot FM are using Gunung Serapi as the radio transmittet site for Kuching because:

* They mainly focus in Kuching city without other locations in Sarawak.

* Gunung Serapi transmission can reach West Kalimantan territory in Indonesia, several frequencies can cause the interference to Indonesia radio stations' coverage in the districts of West Kalimantan province where are near from the Sarawak border.

Hot FM 94.3MHz is the only Media Prima radio station operating in Gunung Serapi while Eight FM 98.3MHz and Kool 101 FM 104.3MHz operates in Bukit Djin because FM 94.3MHz was already operated by Wow FM  in Gunung Serapi since 1998, Wow FM was the English radio station operated by Natseven (ntv7) in 1998 before it was acquired by Media Prima in 2005 due to financial crisis.

In terms of the coverage, Gunung Serapi is wider than Bukit Djin and Bukit Antu because it can reach signal to Serian and coastal areas of Sarikei and Sri Aman division, alongside Indonesia, meanwhile Bukit Djin and Bukit Antu signal can be tuned too, but very weak signal.

As today, here are the Peninsular Malaysia based, but nationwide radio stations don't have Kuching frequency such as:

* 988 FM

* Suria FM

* Media Prima Fly FM
