Eight WuXian (formerly known as Eight FM) had already ceased broadcast in Ipoh, Melaka and Johor Bahru on 27th October 2025, then its frequencies are now used by Kool FM.
As today, Eight WuXian (Eight無限) only broadcasts in Klang Valley on FM 88.1MHz, Penang, Taiping and Kedah on FM 87.8MHz, Seremban on FM 88.3MHz, Kota Kinabalu on FM 95.7MHz and Kuching on FM 98.3MHz.
According to my friend who is staying in Seremban, Eight WuXian on FM 88.3MHz is currently off air in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan recently. I may suspect the transmitter system of FM 88.3MHz in Bukit Gun tower is damaged as it has been running for 16 years since One FM era.
As today, Eight WuXian FM 88.3MHz in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan is not back on air yet.
In my opinion, Media Prima Audio can permanently terminate Eight WuXian radio broadcast in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan and surrender the frequency FM 88.3MHz to MCMC.
This is because the coverage of Eight WuXian FM 88.3MHz is very small as it is transmitted from Bukit Gun, meanwhile other radio stations are transmitted from Gunung Telapak Buruk. In addition, the transmission of Eight WuXian FM 88.3MHz doesn't reach many listeners.
Eight WuXian FM 88.3MHz is already weak in Senawang, Sendayan and Mambau where are within Seremban City.
Besides that, same like Kuantan, I don't think Eight WuXian has potential listeners in Seremban.
Media Prima Audio can make another option to switch Eight WuXian to Kool FM on 88.3MHz in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan if MCMC doesn't allow the radio transmission of FM 102.0MHz in Gunung Telapak Buruk.
Media Prima Audio can launch Kool FM in Seremban by taking over the frequency from Eight WuXian, at least Kool FM can gain potential listeners in Seremban, despite 88.3MHz doesn't cover entire Negeri Sembilan state.
If Media Prima Audio permanently terminates the transmission of Eight WuXian FM 88.3MHz in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Eight WuXian will remain 4 FM radio frequencies in Klang Valley, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. This can help Media Prima Audio to save transmission fees for Eight WuXian.
Seremban is not an important market of Eight WuXian, somewhat Eight WuXian is digital first Chinese radio station which mainly focuses on digital platform over conventional FM radio platform.
Alongside digital platform, it is already sufficient of Eight WuXian to focus in Klang Valley, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching on FM radio frequency platform because many listeners have already tuned to this radio station digitally nowadays.
