Last week, CityPlus FM 106.0MHz was back on air by playing non-stop Chinese songs, but the frequency FM 106.0MHz carries Sabahan songs today.
In the video, FM 106.0MHz also carries station ID with Kupi-Kupi FM 106.
Previously I mentioned that Kupi-Kupi FM published a Facebook post "Sampai Sana Pun Bulih Dengar? Akan Datang", then I predicted that Kupi-Kupi FM Sabah potentially would expand coverage in Sandakan to compete against Era FM Sabah, but today on 12th September 2026, CityPlus FM 106.0MHz has become Kupi-Kupi FM by playing Sabahan songs in Klang Valley and Negeri Sembilan.
In the video, Kupi-Kupi FM's announcer says "Ini Suara Kita, Cerita Kita, Muzik Kita. Kupi-Kupi FM 106, Kita Juga Baini" after playing Sabahan song on the radio.
From here, it is highly possible of Kupi-Kupi FM Sabah expands coverage in Peninsular Malaysia to replace CityPlus FM on the frequency 106.0MHz. So, my speculation of Kupi-Kupi FM Sabah expands coverage in Sandakan or Keningau will not be happened. 9 years ago, I was already told by one of the representative from Kupi-Kupi FM that the radio station won't expand the coverage in Tawau, Sandakan, Keningau and Lahad Datu due to lower population of Sabahans (especially Tawau and Sandakan Divisions) as illegal immigrants are more than local Sabahans in Tawau Division (caused by the former Malaysia Prime Minister's Projek IC from 1994 which badly damaged Sabah at that time).
Sabahan people who work and reside in Peninsular Malaysia are mostly staying in South Klang Valley such as Seri Kembangan, Puchong, Cyberjaya, Bangi, Kajang and Kuala Lumpur where FM 106.0MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk transmitter has coverage there.
CityPlus was already decline since 2025 due to low Chinese listenership, but the launching of Kupi-Kupi FM Sabah in Klang Valley may earn some commercial revenue than CityPlus as there is no Sabahan radio station in Peninsular Malaysia. In addition, Klang Valley becomes the test market of Kupi-Kupi FM.
Kupi-Kupi FM 106MHz is radio version of Borenos Fried Chicken. Why?
Borenos Fried Chicken is a fast food chain from Sabah since 2015, but it opens outlet in Peninsular Malaysia since December 2024. Puchong in Selangor was the very first Peninsular Malaysia location to have Borenos Fried Chicken.
OOGA X Sdn Bhd "copies" the business expansion method of Borenos Fried Chicken by expanding Kupi-Kupi FM Sabah in Peninsular Malaysia (Klang Valley), rather than other Sabah locations like Sandakan, Keningau, Tawau, Kudat and Lahad Datu.
Regarding the launching date, Kupi-Kupi FM 106.0MHz is likely launched on 16th September 2026 in conjunction with Malaysia Day.
Dear all Sabahans who are staying in Klang Valley, but miss the homeland in Sabah very much, please turn on the radio and tune to FM 106.0MHz for more Sabahan songs.
