Kota Kinabalu commercial radio stations (TX: Bukit Karatong) received in Labuan

Do you know? Alongside RTM radio stations, actually we can tune to Kota Kinabalu radio stations in Labuan via frequency transmission.

From 30th to 31st March 2025, I manage to record the video of tuning 11 Kota Kinabalu radio stations in Labuan Island. Here are the radio stations that I tune in Bandar Victoria, Labuan.

1. IKIM FM 93.9MHz

2. Eight FM 95.7MHz

3. Kupi-Kupi FM 96.3MHz

4. Melody FM 98.6MHz

5. Hitz FM 100.8MHz

6. Mix FM 101.6MHz

7. Era FM Sabah 102.4MHz

8. Tea FM 102.8MHz

9. Lite FM 103.2MHz

10. MY FM 104.0MHz

11. Bernama Radio FM 107.9MHz

Videos are recorded at the various locations of Bandar Victoria such as Dataran Labuan, Labuan Fountain Roundabout and road near Perbadanan Labuan. These radio stations are only receivable outdoor, the listeners in Labuan are advised to tune these radio stations indoor via online streaming, unless using special and good quality receiving antenna.

All Kota Kinabalu radio stations are transmitted from Bukit Karatong, the tuning distance is 136km.

Among 11 Kota Kinabalu transmitted radio stations, Hitz FM 100.8MHz is the clearest and most powerful one tuned in Labuan because it has no adjacent radio stations nearby 100.8MHz. 

Hot FM 87.7MHz from Bukit Karatong is not available in Labuan due to RTM Radio Klasik FM 87.6MHz Bukit Timbalai transmitter.

IKIM FM 93.9MHz has interference with Brunei's RTB Nasional FM 93.9MHz Andulau transmitter.

Tea FM 102.8MHz is very hard to be tuned in Labuan because it has strong adjacent channel interference noise from Sabah VFM 102.9MHz Bukit Tampalagus transmitter.

Sinar FM 104.9MHz from Bukit Karatong is not included in the list above because it has co-channel interference with RTM Limbang FM 104.9MHz Bukit Mas transmitter, meanwhile the frequency is dominated by Limbang FM completely in Bandar Victoria.

In Labuan, Mix FM 101.6MHz, Era FM 102.4MHz, Lite FM 103.2MHz and MY FM 104.0MHz have adjacent channel interference with RTM Sarawak FM 101.5MHz, Traxx FM 102.3MHz, Ai FM 103.3MHz and Red FM 104.1MHz from Bukit Mas respectively, but these radio stations have no interference obviously when the listeners tune them via car radio receiver.

Dear all Labuan radio listeners and the travelers, wish you all the best for tuning the radio in Labuan.
