Cats FM radio reception in Batu Niah, Miri Division, Sarawak




In Miri Division, Cats FM broadcasts on the frequency 93.3MHz, transmitted from Bukit Lambir. It covers Miri, Bekenu, Kuala Baram and Marudi. 


In Batu Niah, it is the blindspot coverage of Bukit Lambir transmitter for TV and radio broadcast, so the public broadcaster RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) added the gap filler transmitter in Bukit TT844 for Nasional FM and Sarawak FM to cover blindspot coverage of Bukit Lambir transmitter in Batu Niah and Suai, meanwhile digital terrestrial television service provider MYTV added Gunung Ancharang transmitter to cover Batu Niah and Suai.


As Cats FM does not have the gap filler transmitter in Bukit TT844 like RTM radio station, I was interested to inspect its radio reception of Cats FM in Batu Niah, Miri Division, Sarawak last year in March 2024, so I flied to Bintulu, then I drove to Miri and stopped in Batu Niah during Hari Raya Aidilfitri to test the radio reception of Cats FM.


Back to 11th April 2024, I compared two Cats FM frequencies signal in Batu Niah, Sarawak on 93.3MHz (Bukit Lambir) and 88.3MHz (Bukit Setiam) by recording the videos.


* 93.3MHz Bukit Lambir (51km)


* 88.3MHz Bukit Setiam (130km)

Between two frequencies, Cats FM 93.3MHz is clearer than 88.3MHz in Batu Niah, Sarawak. Although Batu Niah is the blindspot coverage of Bukit Lambir transmitter, but Cats FM 93.3MHz is still clear there.


In conclusion, Cats FM is still tuned on 93.3MHz from Bukit Lambir transmitter in Batu Niah, Sarawak.
