Starting from January 2025, Eight FM may not be available in Kuantan, Pahang anymore on the frequency 88.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali due to transmission system upgrade of Pahang FM 88.0MHz in Bukit Sembilan, but the listeners can tune via Audio+ app or YouTube LIVE streaming.

2 years ago, Eight FM let go its Kuantan frequency 100.4MHz to Molek FM, but the listeners can continue listening to this radio station in Kuantan by tuning the frequency 88.1MHz, transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali, the radio reception is moderate to weak.

 

Today on 4th December 2024, RTM Pahang FM announces that it will have broadcast interruption in Bukit Sembilan (88.0MHz), Bukit Sulai (95.5MHz) and Bukit Senggora (92.0MHz) from this month until early of January 2025. 

RTM Pahang FM will renew and upgrade its transmission system in these following locations below:

1. Bukit Sembilan, Muadzam Shah on 88.0MHz (9th till 13th December 2024)

2. Bukit Sulai, Gambang on 95.5MHz (19th till 24th December 2024)

3. Bukit Senggora, Maran on 92.0MHz (2nd till 6th January 2024)

 

Generally Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan transmission can overspill to Kuantan, causing Eight FM 88.1MHz will be interfered.

 

Currently RTM Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan radio signal cannot be detected in Kuantan as its system is having problem, so Eight FM 88.1MHz can be tuned in part of Kuantan moderately without interference.

 

Once after RTM Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan transmitter is upgraded, Eight FM 88.1MHz radio signal from Gunung Ulu Kali will have interference from Pahang FM in Kuantan and Pekan, unless RTM Pahang FM Muadzam Shah frequency is changed.

 

Starting from January 2025, Kuantan listeners may not be able to tune Eight FM alternatively via 88.1MHz due to the interference of Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan transmitter, so the listeners can only tune Eight FM in Kuantan digitally such as Audio+ app and YouTube LIVE streaming, unless Pahang FM 88.0MHz is using same low power in Bukit Sembilan and does not overspill signal to Kuantan.
