Cannot receive Eight FM 88.3MHz in rest of Negeri Sembilan areas outside Seremban? Media Prima Audio Eight FM is now digitally available in Gunung Telapak Buruk via MYTV DTT transmission on CH715, while multiplex frequency is on UHF 506MHz (Channel 25).

 Media Prima Audio Eight FM reaches its coverage for Negeri Sembilan state with Seremban frequency 88.3MHz since One FM's era in August 2010. Unlike other radio stations, the transmission coverage of Eight FM 88.3MHz is limited in Seremban and surrounding areas because it is transmitted from Bukit Gun where located in Seremban City, instead of Gunung Telapak Buruk.


Eight FM 88.3MHz has no coverage in the rest of Negeri Sembilan areas outside Seremban, the listeners have to tune to weaker and more interference frequency on FM 88.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali or Gunung Ledang.


On FM radio platform, Eight FM is the only Chinese radio station which does not have Gunung Telapak Buruk transmitter like others, meanwhile it is now digitally available in Gunung Telapak Buruk via MYTV CH706 on the multiplex frequency UHF 506MHz (Channel 25) since 22nd September 2023.

 

So, the listeners there have new option to tune to Eight FM, alongside Audio+ app, YouTube LIVE streaming and weaker frequency FM 88.1MHz.

 

Although Eight FM is unavailable of its transmitter in Gunung Telapak Buruk via FM radio, but it is digitally available in Gunung Telapak Buruk via MYTV CH715. Moreover, this also can bypass my proposal of launching Gunung Telapak Buruk transmitter for Eight FM to replace small coverage's 88.3MHz which I suggested from 2011 to 2016.

 

Currently there is no any empty frequency slot for Eight FM's Gunung Telapak Buruk radio transmission to cover Negeri Sembilan. In the past years, I found that FM 102.0MHz or FM 102.1MHz was likely suitable, but it is not suitable to be used in Gunung Telapak Buruk after doing deeper radio frequency analysis and on site radio signal field strength test in DX mode.
