Alongside Minnal FM 88.3MHz, Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM from Singapore is another alternative Tamil radio station in Mersing and Endau, Johor, Malaysia when THR Raaga FM 103.7MHz is not receivable there..

As I mentioned previously, Indian listeners can enjoy listening to 3 Tamil radio stations in South Johor, such as Minnal FM, Raaga and Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM.

 

In Mersing and Endau, there is only 1 Tamil radio station available clearly, it is Minnal FM 88.3MHz from Bukit Tinggi, meanwhile Raaga is very difficult to be tuned there via FM 99.7MHz from Gunung Ledang or FM 103.7MHz Gunung Pulai, but Singapore Oli 96.8FM is partially available in Mersing and Endau.

Here are my videos of receiving Singapore's Tamil radio station, Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM in Mersing and Endau.


1. Mersing (120km from Bukit Batok)


2. Endau (146km from Bukit Batok)


By comparing the Tamil radio stations signal in Mersing and Endau, Minnal FM 88.3MHz is the clearest as it is transmitted from Bukit Tinggi, but Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM from Singapore is slightly stronger than Raaga (regardless 99.7 or 103.7).

 

Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM has adjacent channel interference with Sinar FM 96.9MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk in Endau, Johor, Malaysia, meanwhile it has co-channel interference with RTM Pahang FM 96.8MHz from Tioman Island in between Endau and Mersing such as Gunung Arong, Kampung Mawar and Kampung Tengla.


To all Indian listeners in Endau and Mersing, Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM is another alternative Tamil radio station there after Minnal FM.
