Eight FM radio reception in Pontian and Pekan Nanas, Johor

It has been 13 years of Media Prima launched Eight FM (formerly known as One FM until July 2021) frequency in Johor Bahru on 105.3MHz, the transmitter site is located at TM Pelangi (Taman Sentosa) in Johor Bahru. Unlike other radio stations, the transmission of Eight FM JB frequency 105.3MHz does not mean that other South Johor areas like Kulai, Pontian and Kota Tinggi can receive this radio station on 105.3MHz.


In Pontian and Pekan Nanas, Eight FM is still tuned on 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang with moderate to clear signal, meanwhile its JB frequency 105.3MHz is Johor FM from Gunung Ledang, but weaker signal.


On 29th September 2024, I had recorded Eight FM 88.1MHz signal videos in Pontian and Pekan Nanas. In addition, I also checked the signal of FM 105.3MHz, it ends up with Johor FM.


==Eight FM 88.1MHz Gunung Ledang radio reception in Pontian and Pekan Nanas, Johor==

* Pekan Nanas (139km)


* Pontian (131km)


==Johor FM 105.3MHz Gunung Ledang radio reception in Pontian and Pekan Nanas, Johor (Eight FM from JB is not receivable)==

* Pekan Nanas (139km)


* Pontian (131km)


So, Eight FM frequency 105.3MHz coverage is only limited in Johor Bahru (Tampoi, Iskandar Puteri, Ulu Tiram, Masai, Pasir Gudang, Johor Jaya, Tebrau, JB City Center etc) and small part of Kota Tinggi.


Eight FM in majority areas of Pontian District is covered by 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang. From Pontian to Batu Pahat, 88.1MHz is getting even clearer.
