Possibilities of Capital FM rebranding after acquired by Astro

On 9th September 2016, Astro acquired loss making Capital FM and Red FM with RM42 Billions.

Capital FM Sdn Bhd holds Content Application Service Provider (CASP) license which can be allowed to broadcast Red FM and Capital FM.

Astro will rebrand these two radio stations to target new audience.

Previously I had speculated and predicted Red FM will be rebranded to a Tamil retro radio station, known as Osai FM (which currently only airing on Astro CH866), because there also may demand of Tamil listeners who want the classic music station like Malay station Sinar FM and Chinese station Melody FM.

Now, we will talk about the future of Capital FM.

Astro currently broadcasts nine FM radio stations, mainly Era, My, Sinar, THR Raaga, THR Gegar, Melody, Hitz, Mix, and Lite. In addition, Astro also owns Classic Rock, Bayu, Kenyalang, Opus, Jazz, Gold, India Beat and Osai.

Rumors state that Capital FM will be rebranded to a talk radio station like Astro Talk Radio FM 101.8MHz in 1997-98.

Let's analyze the Astro satellite stations which may be possible broadcasted on Capital FM frequency.

1. Opus
- In my opinion, I don't think Astro will rebrand Capital FM to Opus FM as less listeners will listen to classic opera music. Actually classic opera music station has no market in Malaysia, perhaps not all listeners love to listen to classic opera music.

2. Jazz
- Same answer with Opus. Jazz FM plays jazz music, less Malaysian people listen to jazz music on FM station. In addition, its sister station Lite FM also plays jazz music, alongside with easy listening music.

3. India Beat
- India Beat actually plays Northern Indian music. Malaysia Indians speaking language is Tamil, and some of them are speaking in Malayalam rather than Hindi. India Beat plays Hindi, Punjabi and Bengali music. Tamil language is origin from South India. In my opinion, I don't think Astro will rebrand Capital FM to India Beat perhaps Northern India music station market in Malaysia is very small, it is considered as minority market.

4. Bayu and Kenlayang
- Both are East Malaysia music stations. Never think Astro will launch in Klang Valley, instead they can launch in Sabah and Sarawak.

5. Osai
- I had mentioned previously regarding rebranding of Red FM. Briefly say that Osai FM is a Malaysia Tamil retro radio station which plays Tamil music from the 1970s till 1990s.

6. Classic Rock
- A rock station by Astro. In 1997, Classic Rock was aired on 103.3MHz (Klang Valley), then slots are taken over by Era FM due to high demand of Malay listeners. Sounds like BFM 89.9, because BFM 89.9 plays classic rock music, together with business and headlines talk. To me, there is also a chance of launching Classic Rock on Capital FM frequency, but they also may have possibility to take over Mix FM slot if Mix FM face loss making due to low listenership.

7. Gold (formerly Golden Oldies and Nostalgia)
- Gold FM plays the English songs from the 1950s till 1970s like Elvis Presley, Diana Ross, The Beatles, Bee Gees, James Brown etc. Light & Easy played English oldies before it renamed to Lite FM in 2006. Lite FM dropped the 1960s and 1970s songs as they want to concentrate on younger listeners, so Lite FM plays the songs beginning from the 1980s. After Lite FM is no longer playing 1960s and 1970s, but those 1960s and 1970s are played on Astro satellite only station Gold FM. In my opinion, the rebranding of Capital FM to Gold also could be the possible as Malaysia currently has no more oldies station which play the songs from 1960s and 1970s.

Other than these eight radio stations, I don't think Astro will return its defunct station XFM (Xfresh) as this station had been making loss heavily after 2010. In term of marketing, most of Malay listeners are listening to Era, Sinar, Gegar, Hot FM, Suria FM, Best 104 and Kool FM. XFM target audience is Malay teenagers and it plays Malaysia indie music like Pop Shuvit, Meet Uncle Hussein, Hujan, Poetic Ammo, Point Blanc.

According all the analysis made on six stations, India Beat, Jazz and Opus won't be aired on FM terrestrial radio by taking over Capital FM. Meanwhile Classic Rock and Gold, hmmm...Gold may result higher possibility than Classic Rock, but mostly Astro may return broadcasting of their long time defunct Talk Radio back to FM station.

Talk about the history of Astro early radio station, Talk Radio. It was launched in 1997, together with Hitz, Mix, Lite and Classic Rock, but it was ceased broadcasting in 1998 after taken over by My FM.

==Talk Radio==
88.9MHz: Klang Valley (Gn Ulu Kali)
107.6MHz: Penang (Bkt Penara)
103.3MHz: Johor Bahru (Metropolis Tower)
xx.xMHz: Ipoh (Gn Kledang)
xxx.xMHz: Seremban (Bkt Gan)
xx.xMHz: Malacca and Johor (Gn Ledang)

If Astro returns Talk Radio, in my opinion, I don't think Astro will expand the coverage to Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah, Perlis/Langkawi as there have no commercial value. English radio market is not so big in these states.

In terms of commercial value, Gold and Classic Rock may result higher.

Analisa liputan THR Gegar Bukit Senggora FM 100.7MHz

Pada masa kini, kawasan Pahang Tengah dan Barat seperti Maran, Jengka, Temerloh, Bera belum menerima siaran THR Gegar. Terdapat satu tempat pemancar radio terletak di Pahang Tengah, iaitu Bukit Senggora, Maran.

Untuk meliputi kawasan Temerloh, Bera dan sebahagian Pahang Barat dari Bukit Senggora dengan field strength sekurang 54dBuV/m (STEREO) dan 48dBuV/m (MONO).

==Parameter THR Gegar untuk Pahang Tengah dan sebahagian Pahang Barat==

Frekuensi: 100.7MHz

Tempat pemancar: Bukit Senggora 

Kuasa diuji dengan: 3.5kW, 5kW

Ketinggian: 215m

Antenna gain: 6.4dBi

 

Berdasarkan pada peta liputan di atas, THR Gegar Bukit Senggora FM 100.7MHz pada kuasa 5kW lebih luas daripada 2kW dan 3.5kW. THR Gegar Bukit Senggora FM 100.7MHz boleh memancar sehingga kawasan Karak dan Lanchang pada 5kW, tetapi penerimaannya lemah, manakala Temerloh dan Mentakab boleh menerima siaran THR Gegar dalam STEREO.

Secara asasnya, Bukit Senggora tiada nilai komersil kepada pihak penyiaran swasta, tetapi liputannya lebih luas daripada Bukit Istana, Bukit Botak dan Bukit Sulai. THR Gegar mungkin ada nilai komersil di Pahang Tengah dan Barat (Bukit Senggora), berbanding dengan Era dan Sinar.

Sinar FM dan Era FM boleh diterima di Maran, Jengka, Temerloh pada 96.7MHz dan 103.3MHz dari Gn Ulu Kali masing-masing.

Secara keseuluruhnnya, Bukit Senggora adalah tempat sesuai untuk meliputi Pahang Tengah dan Barat, tetapi kuasa 5kW diperlukan.

Red FM becomes Tamil radio station? Capital FM becomes talk radio station?

On 9th September 2016, Astro acquired Red FM and Capital FM with RM42Million

Previously I had mentioned that Red FM and Capital FM may rebrand to a Tamil retro station, Osai FM.

Now I don't think Red FM and Capital FM will be rebranded together into one station because I hear that Capital FM will become talk radio station.

For my prediction, I strongly believe that Red FM English broadcast will not be continued after joining Astro, it will become Tamil radio station Osai FM.

==OSAI FM==

- 104.9MHz: Klang Valley and South Perak (Gunung Ulu Kali)
- 106.0MHz: Negeri Sembilan (Gunung Telapak Burok; return broadcasting after closed transmission in June 2009)
- 98.9MHz: Melaka and North Johor (Gn Ledang)
- 92.8MHz: Johor Bahru and Singapore (Gn Pulai)
- 106.4MHz: Ipoh (Gn Kledang)
- 98.1MHz: Kedah, Perlis, Penang and North Perak (Gn Jerai)
- 91.6MHz: Kuantan (Bkt Pelindung)
- 99.3MHz: Taiping (Bukit Larut; take over from THR Raaga Bkt Penara; THR Raaga can be received in Penang via 102.4MHz)

PS: Minnal FM will face stiff competition from THR Raaga and Osai FM

For Osai FM Negeri Sembilan frequency, Astro can reuse Red FM old frequency FM 106.0MHz which was ceased in June 2009, perhaps Seremban and Central Negeri Sembilan areas can't get 104.9MHz and 98.9MHz clearly. FM 98.9MHz is interfered by 988 FM 98.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali in most of Negeri Sembilan areas until some Melaka areas.

For Taiping and North Perak, I never think that Astro will reuse former controversial Red FM Bukit Larut frequency FM 98.2MHz. Astro can take over THR Raaga Penang frequency 99.3MHz by moving site to Bukit Larut for Osai FM Taiping frequency, perhaps THR Raaga 99.3MHz in Penang is quite "pointless" because Penang already has strategic frequency from Gunung Jerai Kedah, that's FM 102.4MHz.

Regarding to the future of Capital FM, rumors said that Capital FM will be rebranded to talk radio station, which focus on news and business like BFM 89.9.

For frequency coverage, currently Capital FM has only 88.9 for Klang Valley and 107.6 for Penang, I don't think Astro will expand this station to nationwide like Hitz, Mix and Lite because of market.

This talk radio language could be in English or Malay. If this talk radio is in Malay, Astro could expand to nationwide, but what if in English, Astro may not go nationwide.

The talk radio station would only target Klang Valley, Penang, Ipoh, Melaka, Johor and Seremban, but I don't think Astro will not have any plan to expand this talk radio station to East Malaysia and East Coast temporarily.

==Talk radio station==

88.9Mhz: Klang Valley (Gn Ulu Kali)
107.6MHz: Penang (Bkt Penara)

封鎖朝鮮FM電台的建議 Suggestion of jamming North Korea FM signal parameter

以下是可以在韓國境內可以接收的朝鮮電台 (朝鮮平壤中央廣播電台):

- FM 92.5MHz (開城)
- FM 103.7MHz (海洲)
- FM 97.8MHz (海洲)
- FM 102.3MHz (海洲)
- FM 95.1MHz (元山)

為了防止韓國人民收聽具滿邪惡共產主義的朝鮮電台, 韓國通訊部在各地的發射站安裝jammer來封鎖朝鮮電台.. Jammer的作用是干擾一個電台

1. FM 103.7MHz
目前我看到的是朝鮮海洲電台103.7MHz被韓國封鎖 , 但是jammer是靜音的.. 發射地區是在南山 (Namsan)... 103.7MHz的jammer靜音是避免干擾首爾電台的SBS Love FM 103.5MHz.. 如果無線電干擾器是放出聲音在103.7MHz, SBS Love FM 103.5MHz也會自己遭殃.

在韓國江原道的春川, TBN FM也使用103.7MHz, 主要覆蓋江原道的整個省, 但是功率不大, 只是3kW. 基本上如果要在京畿道內干擾朝鮮電台, 韓國政府必須增加TBN FM 103.7MHz的發射功率至10kW. 

首爾方面, FM 103.9MHz也可以在冠岳山增設電台, 功率為10kW, 來封鎖朝鮮電台..

2. FM 92.5MHz
韓國政府在韓國首爾南山安裝電台干擾器 (jammer)來完全封鎖朝鮮電台92.5MHz, 所以在首爾的你, 如果把收音機的電台頻率調去92.5MHz, 肯定會聽到鳴聲 (beep).. 開城離開首爾的距離是不到100公里

3. FM 97.8MHz
韓國政府目前沒有在這個頻率安裝任何的干擾器, 因為KBS Cool FM已經在京畿道有了97.7MHz, 功率為0.2kW

4. FM 102.3MHz
韓國政府在首爾冠岳山可以增設新電台102.3MHz, 功率為5kW.

5. FM 95.1MHz
韓國政府可以在江源道增設FM 94.9MHz來封鎖來自元州的朝鮮電台, 功率為10kW. 其實韓國首爾冠岳山已經有了FM 95.1MHz, TBN FM.

==Suggested parameter for jamming North Korea FM signal in South Korea== (feat with antenna pattern)

1. FM 103.9MHz
Power: 10kW
Transmitting location: Gwanaksan, Seoul, South Korea

2. FM 103.5MHz (SBS Love FM)
Power: 15kW
Transmitting location: Gwanaksan, Seoul, North Korea

3. FM 102.3MHz
Power: 5kW
Transmitting location: Gwanaksan

4. FM 94.9MHz
Power: 10kW
Transmitting location: Neuratjae (Chuncheon)

International FM DXing: North Korea FM radio jamming in South Korea

In Seoul, and Korea Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), there has some North Korea FM radio can be received there, transmitted from Kaesong and Hanju of North Korea.

Currently South Korea is jamming North Korea FM radio signal in South Korea territories.

- 92.5MHz: KCBS Pyongyang FM Pangsong from Kaesong is jammed by South Korea with beep signal.
- 97.8MHz: KCBS Pyongyang FM Pangsong from Kaesong is jammed by South Korea Jayu FM Bangsong from Cheorwon of Gangwon province FM 97.7MHz
- 103.7MHz: KCBS Pyongyang FM  Chosun Jungang Pangsong from Haeju is jammed by South Korea Military Jammer from Namsan, Seoul
- 102.3MHz KCBS Pyongyang FM  Chosun Jungang Pangsong from Kaesong


North Korea FM 103.7MHz is also jammed by SBS Love FM 103.5MHz from Seoul in Korean DMZ and Seoul metropolitan area, FM 103.5MHz by SBS Love FM is occupied with 10kW power.

In my opinion, South Korea still can jam North Korea signal by adding more FM stations in South Korea. Such as:

- FM 102.1MHz and FM 102.5MHz low power transmitters within Korean DMZ areas
- FM 92.5MHz in Seoul Korea with 10kW power to jam North Korea signal
- FM 103.8MHz low power transmitters within Korean DMZ areas

Jamming North Korea FM signal is not only done by playing beep sound, it can be done by launching commercial relay station, even can increase power of existing transmitter to jam North Korea signal.

==EBS Gyoyuk Bangsong parameter==
Frequency: FM 102.3MHz
Power: 10kW (suggested power)
Transmitting location: Weonhyobong (ccg)

==MBC Munhwa Bangsong==
Frequency: FM 92.3MHz
Power: 10kW
Transmitting location: Chuncheon/Daeryongsan (gan)

With increasing power of existing South Korea radio stations, the North Korea radio stations will face heavy co-channel interference within South Korea areas. So, listeners won't be able to receive North Korea stations there.
 
 

If Astro acquires Red FM and Capital FM from Star, what will the radio station become?

There is many speculation of Astro Radio Sdn Bhd had interest to acquire Red FM and Capital FM.

Red FM and Capital FM currently play non-stop music after ceased operations since 1st January 2016.

Unofficial news stated that Astro has interest to acquire Red FM and Capital FM from The Star, but acquisition dealing costs RM20millions.

Astro currently operates few satellite only radio stations such as:

- Gold (formerly was Golden Oldies and Nostalgia)
- Jazz
- India Best
- Osai
- Kenyalang
- Bayu

Astro already has its three retro radio stations in three different languages (Chinese, Malay and English), but so far no Tamil retro radio station yet.

THR Raaga is Tamil radio station like Mix FM, My FM, Era FM and Hitz FM.

In my opinion, Astro can transform Red FM and Capital FM to Osai FM, become Malaysia first Tamil retro station if acquisition is done. In addition, imagine if Astro launch Osai FM, it can compete with Minnal FM.

Minnal FM from RTM can face stiff competition from THR Raaga and Osai FM.

==Capital FM history==

Capital FM 1.0 was from 2008 till November 2011, it was independent radio station.

Capital FM 2.0 was from December 2011 till January 2016, it was acquired by Star Radio in May 2011.

Capital FM 3.0?? Acquired by Astro, then become Osai FM?

- ISY Holdings, which is the company of Capital FM will get more stable if join Astro, but sadly to hear that Malaysia loss two English radio.

Osai FM currently broadcasts only via Astro CH866 and online.

Here is the frequencies list of Osai FM if Astro acquires Red FM and Capital FM.

- 104.9MHz: Gunung Ulu Kali for Klang Valley, West Pahang and South Perak
- 98.9MHz: Gunung Ledang for Melaka and North Johor
- 92.8MHz: Gunung Pulai for South Johor and Singapore
- 106.4MHz: Gunung Kledang for Ipoh
- 107.5MHz: Bukit Larut for Taiping (ex: 107.6MHz Bukit Penara)
- 98.1MHz: Gunung Jerai for Kedah, Perlis and Penang
- 89.1MHz: Gunung Telapak Burok for Negeri Sembilan (ex: 88.9MHz Gunung Ulu Kali) 

Back to 2009, Red FM already closed down its two frequencies. There are 98.2MHz Bukit Larut for Taiping, then 106.0MHz Gn Telapak Burok for Negeri Sembilan.

In my opinion, I don't think Astro will reuse FM 106.0MHz again for Osai FM in Negeri Sembilan, despite Astro acquires Capital FM 88.9 too. If 106.0MHz is reoccupied by Osai FM, 88.9MHz is nothing again.

The suitable way is modifying Capital FM 88.9MHz parameters like this:

- Frequency: 89.1MHz
- Transmitting location: Gunung Telapak Burok
- Conclusion: 88.9MHz will be blanked in Klang Valley and South Perak, but 88.8MHz can be occupied in Gunung Kledang Ipoh.

Another site is in Taiping, Osai FM can modify Capital FM 107.6MHz parameter like below here:

- Frequency: 107.5MHz
- Transmitting location: Bukit Larut

If 107.5MHz is occupied by Osai FM in Bukit Larut, Minnal FM Bukit Dedap frequency must be changed to 107.7MHz to avoid interference.

For frequency expansion, I may not think ARSB will expand Osai FM broadcast coverage in Kelantan, Terengganu and East Malaysia as no commercial value there, like what THR Raaga did. THR Raaga doesn't reach Kelantan, Terengganu, Kuantan and East Malaysia too.

Last time Astro another Chinese radio station (not My FM), Melody did not air on FM radio. Until July 2012, Melody FM broadcasted through FM radio by taking over XFM/Xfresh FM slots, Xfresh lost its revenue due to low listeners gained. In addition, Xfresh music genre is closed to Era FM, just different things. Era FM is more to mainstream, Xfresh is more to indie music.

Will Osai FM go on FM broadcast in the future? Will this happen? We don't know yet, but we need to get official news from ARSB.

Talk about the acquisition of Copyright Laureate Sdn Bhd by Media Prima, there is the formula.

==Media Prima==
Ultra FM (Klang Valley) + Pi Mai FM (Penang) = Kool FM (Malay retro station by Media Prima)

Astro acquisition on Red FM and Capital FM also can be the same way too.

==Astro Radio==
Red FM + Capital FM = Osai FM (Tamil retro station by Astro)

PS: If Astro acquire Red FM and Capital FM, I will hear Tamil old songs on FM 104.9MHz in Kuala Lumpur.

Red FM and Capital FM will be acquired by Astro Radio Sdn Bhd??

On December 2015, Star Media Group announced that Red FM and Capital FM would be the last day of broadcasting on 31st December 2015 due to these two stations lost the revenue.

31st of  December 2015, also the last day of 2015. I was listening to Red FM, from lunch hours, and back to home. My car radio stuck to FM 104.9MHz, even I tuned to 104.9Mhz until midnight. That time was the last day of Red FM. When it came to the corner, around 11.59pm, the station was nearly off air.

I did not turn off the radio when it came to 2359 hours, but I continued to listen to Red FM until 12.30 am, which was on 1st January 2016. Red FM and Capital FM started to play non-stop music (automation mode) from 1st January 2016, but Capital FM was earlier to start automation mode than Red FM.

Both radio stations have no any DJs, but only kept airing only news and traffic updates, even some advertisement.

Many people speculated that Red FM and Capital FM will not be sold off, but performed rebranding exercise. During these 8 months, I monitored these two stations occasionally and intermittently, although I listened to BFM 89.9.

None of any new updates from these radio stations yet until today.

Initially I believed only that Capital FM would be sold out and Red FM will be remained, but all speculation are false. I was told that Red FM and Capital FM studio equipment were being sold out, this gave me the hint that these two stations will be definitely sold out.

Talk about BFM 89.9... BFM 89.9 is seeking for Penang frequency, I was involved as volunteer. That time I had suggested BFM 89.9 to buy the frequency from Capital FM, which was 107.6MHz, but BFM 89.9 told me that Star did not decide to sell to them, and the amount of this acquisition costed about RM20Millions.

BFM launch Penang frequency..

- Acquired frequency from Capital FM 107.6
- Launch brand new transmitter in Bukit Tokun on FM 103.0MHz

Both I suggested, but in terms of costs, launching in Bukit Tokun 103.0MHz is cheaper than acquiring frequency from Capital FM.

Few weeks ago, I met a staff from The Star (not to mention the person name due to sensitivity) and we talked about Red FM and Capital FM. She stated that currently Star is seeking buyers to buy over these two radio stations, but during these eight months, currently nobody buys the stations as the acquisition costs are very expensive enough. It's RM 20Millions, this is definitely not a joke. RM20Millions cash can buy many things, at least can buy about 15 units of Maserati or Ferrari. 

Last few months, I also received the rumors about Media Prima will take over Red FM frequencies for Kool FM, but I did not see actions from Media Prima to buy Red FM.

Another rumors stated that Red FM and Capital FM will be sold to Astro Radio, but it is unofficial yet.

Astro Radio currently operated nine FM radio stations nationwide, there are:

- Hitz FM (English; target younger listeners)
- Mix FM (English; 1990s-beyond and target urban listeners)
- Lite FM (English; easy listening and classic hits)
- My FM (Chinese; Adult contemporary)
- Melody FM (Chinese; classic hits from 1970s-80s-90s and some 2000s)
- ERA FM (Malay; adult contemporary)
- Sinar FM (Malay; classic hits)
- THR Raaga (Tamil)
- THR Gegar (Malay East Coast)

If Red FM and Capital FM joins Astro Radio, what will be happened? Let's speculate

1. Could THR.FM be disbanded, THR Raaga and Gegar operate independently under Astro?
- Because of license condition, THR Raaga currently is unable to launch in Kuantan, then THR Gegar is unable to launch in West Coast

2. THR Gegar use Red FM frequencies in West Coast, then THR Raaga use Red FM Kuantan frequency

3. Can it become possible that Astro launch a brand new Tamil radio station, which target serious and mature Tamil listeners like Lite FM, Sinar FM and Melody FM?

4. Could Astro relaunch Xfresh again, which was closed down on 9th July 2012?

5. Could Astro launch sports news radio on Red FM frequencies?

If THR FM takes over the frequency from Red FM and Capital FM, it can be happened like this below:

== THR Raaga==
- 99.3MHz: Klang Valley and Penang
- 102.1MHz: Taiping
- 97.9MHz: Ipoh
- 101.5MHz: Negeri Sembilan
- 103.7MHz: Johor Bahru
- 102.4MHz: Kedah, Perlis
- 101.9MHz: Langkawi
- 99.7MHz: Melaka
- 91.6MHz: Kuantan  (from Red FM)

==THR Gegar==
- 88.8MHz: Kuantan
- 88.1MHz: Kota Bharu
- 106.8MHz: Kuala Terengganu
- 104.9MHz: Klang Valley
- 89.1MHz: Seremban (change the frequency of Capital FM 88.9 and shift to Gunung Telapak Burok; 88.9MHz will be empty in Klang Valley)
- 98.9MHz: Melaka
- 92.8MHz: Johor Bahru 
- 98.1MHz: Kedah, Perlis, Penang 
- 106.4MHz: Ipoh
- 107.5MHz: Taiping (modify the frequency of Capital FM 107.6 and shift to Bukit Larut) 

Or a brand new Tamil classic radio station by these frequencies?

==New Tamil classic radio station/OSAI FM==
- 104.9MHz: Klang Valley
- 89.1MHz: Seremban (change the frequency of Capital FM 88.9 and shift to Gunung Telapak Burok; 88.9MHz will be empty in Klang Valley)
- 98.9MHz: Melaka
- 92.8MHz: Johor Bahru 
- 98.1MHz: Kedah, Perlis, Penang 
- 106.4MHz: Ipoh
- 107.5MHz: Taiping (modify the frequency of Capital FM 107.6 and shift to Bukit Larut) 
- 91.6MHz: Kuantan

Anyway these speculations are unofficial and not accurate at all, what we need is the official statement from Astro and Star Media Group.

4. Sungai Kolok/Sg Padi (same result with Narathiwat)

Conclusion: FM 94.0MHz only can be used by community radio station in Narathiwat and Pattani, but power must not be more than 500W.

 

After IKIM FM 89.0MHz transmitted from Upper Jerai, what will happen to Thailand radio station?

Before June 2016, Malaysia Islamic radio station, IKIM FM Kedah-Penang-Perlis frequency was heavily interfered by Thailand Parliament Channel 89.0MHz from Yala Thailand in Kedah and Penang, even some areas in Penang got Thailand station on 89.0MHz.

In April 2016, I got some breaking news from MCMC spectrum people, stated that IKIM FM 89.0MHz will be transmitted from Upper Jerai, effective since June 2016. At the same time, I did not forget to mention about affected Thailand radio station in Yala to them.

MCMC told me that they'll study about affected Thailand radio during JTC and Special Task Force with Thailand NBTC.

In my opinion, after IKIM FM 89.0MHz is transmitted from Upper Jerai, most of Penang and North Perak areas can receive clearly. Formerly Betong and Pengkalan Hulu Perak can get Thailand radio station on 89.0MHz, now the station is overlapped by IKIM FM, even some Yala and Pattani areas within broadcast coverage of 89.0MHz will be interfered by IKIM FM.

What are the solution?

1. Add another relay transmitter in Betong Thailand
- My comment: I don't think Thailand Parliament Channel will add transmitter in Betong Thailand because of no commercial value. In addition, Betong is a small town in Yala. For the radio coverage, Betong is same as RTM Gerik and Bukit Palong, cover the areas within 25-30km only.

2. Change the existing frequency 89.0MHz
- This can directly to solve the interference, but pay with high costs because to change the transmission equipment completely.

In 2014 and 2015, I had suggested several vacant frequencies for this station in Yala. There are 87.5MHz, and 105.5MHz.

I had studied these two frequencies, basically they can be used, but at last I found "not OK" because interference to Narathiwat local community radio stations. FM 87.5MHz and FM 105.5MHz are also used within Narathiwat province.

Recently I studied a new frequency which may be suitable to be used in Yala, there is FM 95.75MHz.

This frequency looks good actually. It is "interference free" frequency. Look at the analysis

1. FM 95.7MHz Yala vs. RTM Radio Klasik Bukit Bakar 95.5MHz
Spacing: 250kHz, OK

2. FM 95.75MHz Yala vs. RTM Nasional FM Gerik 95.4MHz
Spacing: 350kHz, OK

3. FM 95.75MHz Yala vs. RTM Mutiara FM Bukit Penara 95.7MHz
Spacing: 50kHz, OK
Note: Bukit Penara is excluded from international coordination.

In conclusion, Thailand Parliament radio station can change its Yala frequency to FM 95.75MHz.

==Suggested parameters of Thai Parliament Channel Yala frequency==
Frequency: FM 95.75MHz
Power: 2kW
Transmitting location: Khao Pokyo, Bannang Sata, Yala, Thailand
Coordination: 06°20'10''N 101°23'26''E

If 95.75MHz is occupied in Yala, Mutiara FM Bukit Penara 95.7MHz will be interfered in Central and East Kedah, but it is ok because these areas are not coverage of 95.75Mhz Yala.

RF Analysis: Thailand (Yala) vs. Malaysia

In Yala Thailand, there is many radio stations. For public radio stations, their transmitter sites are located in a hill between Yala and Narathiwat border.

For empty frequencies, 93.75MHz and 95.75MHz can be nominated.

1. FM 93.75MHz Yala
- vs. Bukit Panau= 50kHz, NOT OK
- vs. Bukit Larut= 150kHz, OK
- vs. Gunung Jerai= 150kHz, OK
- vs. Pattani= 250kHz, OK
- vs. Satun= 0kHz, OK

2. FM 95.75MHz Yala
- vs. Gerik= 350kHz, OK
- vs. Bukit Penara= 50kHz, OK
- vs. Satun= 250kHz, OK
- vs. Bukit Bakar= 250kHz, OK

3. FM 93.75MHz Betong
- vs. Bukit Panau= 50kHz,  OK
- vs. Bukit Larut= 150kHz, OK
- vs. Gunung Jerai= 150kHz, OK

Among all Yala vacant frequencies with exclusion of existing vacant frequencies which are discussed between MCMC and NBTC in 2011, 95.75MHz is one of best frequency in Yala.

About Asyik FM broadcast coverage

Asyik FM is the only Orang Asli language radio station in Malaysia, which is operated by RTM, formerly known as Radio7, but its broadcast coverage is not wide like other RTM national stations, could be "politic impact" reason.

Here are the current frequencies of Asyik FM nationwide:

- 91.1MHz: Kuala Lumpur Tower (for Klang Valley)
- 102.5MHz: Gunung Ulu Kali (for Pahang, Selangor, South Perak, parts of Negeri Sembilan/Melaka/Johor)
- 95.6MHz: Gunung Ledang (low power transmission 250W, for Segamat and Tangkak only)
- 105.1MHz: Gunung Brinchang (for Cameron Highlands)
- 97.3MHz: Bukit Ladang Teh (for Lenggong and part of Gerik)
- 99.9MHz: Bukit Botak (for Damak)
- 89.3MHz: Ulu Tembeling

In my opinion, among all the frequencies above. Only 102.5Mhz and 95.6MHz transmitter sites are strategic. The rest are gap filler transmitters, which operated at 500W power.

Asyik FM actually need to launch two more transmitters in strategic site, there are:

- Gunung Kledang for Central Perak
- Bukit Pelindung for East Pahang
- Changkat Rembian for Tapah
- Memplam Sari for Gerik

Rest strategic sites like Gn Jerai, Gn Pulai are not necessary because these areas have less Orang Asli..

But Asyik FM can be received nationwide via Shortwave SW 6050kHz

Impressive moment of FM DXing: One FM 90.9MHz for Negeri Sembilan?

Actually one FM Seremban frequency is 88.3MHz, transmitted from Bukit Gan, Seremban, N. Sembilan. Coverage is limited for Seremban and surrounding areas only.

Back to August 2010, I had scanned the FM radio frequencies band nearby my home by using my security guard Sanyo radio receiver.

One FM in my area is on 88.1MHz, but I accidentally scanned there was a Chinese radio station on 90.9MHz after Minnal FM 90.5MHz Gunung Telapak Burok while I was tuning to Asyik FM 102.5MHz.

I was wondered how comes 90.9MHz can be received as Chinese radio station. In addition, one FM 88.1MHz was playing commercials, then 90.9MHz was also playing same content with 88.1MHz.

During that time, the radio receiver was analogue tuning.

This moment was 6 years. I had tried 90.9MHz in my car, but nothing signal on that frequency.

I speculated one FM might have trial transmission in Gunung Telapak Burok before on FM 90.9MHz, alongside with 88.3MHz Bukit Gan. I guessed 90.9MHz was only "on-off" transmission in Gunung Telapak Burok by One FM, but this trial transmission was only short term.

Based on my findings, I don't think 90.9MHz can be used in Gunung Telapak Burok as the transmission can interfere UPM Putra FM 90.7MHz and Asyik FM 91.1MHz within Klang Valley and Southern Selangor areas.

If one FM didn't perform short term trial transmission on 90.9MHz in Gunung Telapak Burok, I think there was modulation on 90.9MHz.

FM DXing: Use analog or digital device?

FM DXing is a hobby of receiving and identifying distant radio or television signals.

There are some device to do FM DXing, mainly analog and digital sources.

- Analog:
1. Audio cassette (use cheapest Type 1 ferric tape; such as TDK D46, Maxell UR46, shorter length like TDK D30/D10 is better)
2. Radio cassette player/boombox/audio tape desk with FM-AM-SW-LW band

Tape: C10, C30 and C46 are enough for FM DXing, meanwhile C60, C90 are not necessary.

- Digital:
1. Smartphones with FM radio apps
2. Earphones (worked as antenna)
3. Video recorder
4. Voice recorder
5. Windows Movie Maker (to convert audio to video)
6. MP3 converter

To me, I prefer using digital devices because it's easier and more convenient.

Although using audio cassette to record radio reception audio was an old fashion, but it is costly if send the tape to broadcasters.

==Disadvantages of using analog sources to do FM DXing==:
1. Costly (buying audio tapes)
2. Longer time to duplicate copy of the audio
3. Unable to convert to digital files with same quality if don't use professional software.
4. Cannot share the audio to digital platform

==Advantage of using digital sources to do FM DXing==
1. Can convert files to mp3, video mp4
2. In terms of submission, the files can be sent via email.
3. Can do duplicate copies instantly
4. No additional cost to do FM DXing.

Gunung Kledang and Gunung Brinchang vacant FM frequencies

Currently vacant FM frequencies for Ipoh Perak are getting limited as many broadcasters occupied the frequencies, no matter from Gunung Kledang itself, also Bukit Larut, Gunung Brinchang, Gunung Ulu Kali, and Changkat Rembian.

Last year, I had listed out three vacant frequencies of Gunung Kledang Ipoh. There are 93.3MHz, 94.9MHz and 93.9MHz. 

Among these three vacant frequencies, I don't really suggest 93.9MHz to be occupied by any stations in Gunung Kledang because of Bernama Radio 24. In case if Bernama Radio24 is willing to expand its coverage to greater Klang Valley and neighboring states like Perak, Pahang and Negeri Sembilan, this can cause Bernama Radio24 will be unable to migrate its site to strategic location, Gunung Ulu Kali.

In addition, if 93.3MHz is occupied in Gunung Kledang, the 93.9MHz shall not be occupied in Gn Kledang as 300kHz plus minus to Hitz FM 93.6MHz Bukit Larut.

About FM 94.9MHz, basically it can be used in Gunung Kledang, but I found that 94.9MHz Gn Kledang can interfere to the coverage of Radio Klasik FM 94.9MHz Gunung Jerai.

Look at this:

 

Interference in Kedah! Minimum frequency separation between Gunung Jerai and Gunung Kledang must be 100kHz.

For Gunung Kledang, only 93.3MHz can be occupied, but I already suggested this frequency to BFM 89.9 to cover Ipoh and Central Perak. 

In October 2015, Media Prima acquired CLSB and the stations Ultra and Pi Mai become Kool FM since March 2016. I find the Kool FM also face its difficulties to reach Perak, but I suggest Kool FM to cover Ipoh by launching a transmitter in Bukit Larut on FM 105.7MHz.

There may be a battle between BFM 89.9 and Kool FM to get FM 93.3MHz in Gunung Kledang for Ipoh. If one of them is failed to get 93.3MHz in Gunung Kledang, the station need to use Gunung Brinchang to cover Ipoh.

==Vacant frequencies in Gunung Kledang==

- FM 93.3MHz

==Vacant frequencies in Bukit Larut==

- FM 105.7MHz

==Vacant frequencies in Gunung Brinchang==

- FM 89.5MHz

- FM 102.3MHz

- FM 105.9MHz

- FM 107.3MHz

Gunung Brinchang coordination: 4°31'2.94''N, 101°22'56.9''E

RTM also has its radio and TV transmitters in Gunung Brinchang. As I know so far, RTM radio stations in Gunung Brinchang are increased transmission power to 0.5kW from old 0.1kW as RTM already upgraded all its gap filler transmitters to 0.5kW since 2014. I was told by MCMC that RTM already upgraded its transmitter power. Bukit Larut is increased to 1kW.

RTM upgraded its Gunung Brinchang stations power to 0.5kW, that's why some Selangor areas like Sabak Bernam, Sungai Besar, Sekinchan, Tanjung Karang and some Kuala Selangor areas can get the signal weakly. Normally 0.1kW can't reach there.

RTM Gunung Brinchang 0.5kW power can transmit to Kuala Lipis, and Merapoh areas. 

In order to cover Ipoh and surrounding areas with minimum field strength 54dBuV/m by using Gunung Brinchang, the transmitter power must be at least 2kW.

Now, let's talk about the RF analysis of Gunung Brinchang vacant frequencies.

1. ==FM 89.5MHz== 

- vs. FM 89.6MHz Bukit Asa: 100kHz, OK

- vs. FM 89.3MHz Bukit Larut: 200kHz, OK

- vs. FM 89.7MHz Bukit Chupak: 200kHz, best

2. ==FM 102.3MHz==

- vs. FM 102.0MHz Changkat Rembian: 300kHz, OK

- vs. FM 102.1MHz Bukit Larut: 200kHz, OK

- vs. FM 102.5MHz Gunung Ulu Kali: OK

3. ==FM 105.9MHz==

- vs. FM 105.7MHz Gunung Ulu Kali: 200kHz, OK

- vs. FM 106.1MHz Bukit Larut: 200kHz, not OK

- vs. FM 105.7MHz Bukit Larut (suggest for Kool FM): not OK 

4. ==FM 107.3MHz==

- vs. FM 107.1MHz Bukit Larut: 200kHz, OK

- vs. FM 107.5MHz Gunung Ulu Kali: 200kHz, OK

5. ==FM 107.7MHz==

-vs. FM 107.5MHz Gunung Ulu Kali and FM 107.9MHz Gunung Ulu Kali (if migrated): Not OK

- vs. FM 107.9MHz Bukit Larut: 200kHz, OK

Raya sudah sampai! Kool FM masih tak memperluaskan liputan siaran ke?

Kool FM telah dilancarkan pada 1 Mac 2016 oleh Media Prima. Setakat ini, Kool FM hanya bersiaran pada 101.3MHz dari Bukit Sungai Besi untuk Lembah Klang, dan 90.2MHz dari Bukit Penara untuk Pulau Pinang dan Kedah Selatan.

Raya sudah sampai... Nak balik kampung ni...

Kool FM tak memperluaskan liputan siaran mereka ke? Orang nak balik kampung untuk menyambut Hari Raya ni.. Tetapi tak dapat siaran Kool FM, saya tak nak melepaskan rancangan Kool FM... Bagaimana ya?

Jawapan: Muat turun applikasi Kool FM telefon pintar dan dengar di talian...

Eihh... Habis lah data internet aku... Kalau saya balik kampung memandu sampai dengar Kool FM melalui applikasi mobile, bluetooth dan pakai wayar AUX... Batteri telefon bimbit saya cepat mati... Kena ada charger untuk back up...

Dengar kat radio lagi senang...

Sebenarnya Kool FM sekurang-kurangnya perlu menambah 3 pemancar lagi dan mengubah parameter pemancar untuk Lembah Klang sebelum Raya 2016. Iaitu:

- Gunung Ledang (Melaka, Johor Utara): cadangan 100.9MHz
- Bukit Larut (Taiping, Kuala Kangsar dan Ipoh): cadangan 105.7MHz
- Bukit Pelindung (Kuantan): cadangan 103.7MHz

Cakap pasal frekuensi Lembah Klang dahulu!

Frekuensi Kool FM di Lembah Klang ialah 101.3MHz, tetapi tempat pemancarannya kurang strategik kerana Bukit Sungai Besi memang tak boleh memancar ke seluruh Selangor, Perak Selatan dan Pahang Barat.

Tempat pemancar Kool FM 101.3MHz sepatutnya dipancar dari Gunung Ulu Kali, Selangor. Oleh itu, Kool FM 101.3MHz boleh didengari di banyak kawasan lagi. Nak balik kampung ke Pantai Timur, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, boleh dengar Kool FM sampai Maran, Tapah, Manjung, dan Rembau.

Gunung Ulu Kali ialah tempat pemancar radio dan TV yang paling strategik dan nilai komersilnya tinggi kerana ia boleh meliputi seluruh Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Perak Selatan, Pahang Barat dan beberapa kawasan Negeri Sembilan, Melaka serta Johor Utara.

Ok, jom cakap pasal wilayah selatan pula..

Kool FM perlu melancarkan frekuensi di Gunung Ledang untuk Melaka dan Johor Utara sebelum Raya 2016... Untuk orang yang balik kampung ke wilayah selatan, sekurang-kurangnya boleh dengar pada radio.... Gunung Ledang boleh meliputi Melaka, Johor Utara dan Negeri Sembilan Tengah. 100.9MHz mungkin sesuai...

Dengan pemancar Gunung Ledang, sekurang-kurangnya Kool FM boleh didengari di Johor Bahru, tetapi penerimaannya lemah.

Untuk Perak pula...

Perak memang tak dapat Kool FM... 101.3MHz memang tak de signal... Jika 101.3MHz dipancar dari Gunung Ulu Kali... Tanjung Malim, Bidor, Tapah, Teluk Intan, Sitiawan, Sungkai, Slim River, dan Langkap boleh dapat lah..

90.2MHz dari Bukit Penara boleh diterima di Bagan Serai, Kamunting, Parit Buntar dan sebahagian kawasan Taiping. Bagaimana Ipoh pula?

Ipoh memang tak dapat Kool FM...

Kool FM sepatutunya perlu mengadakan frekuensi di Bukit Larut untuk Taiping, Kuala Kangsar dan beberapa bahagian Kinta/Ipoh.

Sekurang-kurangnya Ipoh boleh dapat Kool FM dari Bukit Larut, tetapi penerimaan kurang jelas.

Terdapat sebab juga saya tidak sebut pasal cadang di Gunung Kledang... Iaitu Gunung Kledang tidak ada frekuensi kosong lagi.. Sebelum ini, saya mencadangkan FM 94.9MHz Gunung Kledang, tetapi analisa telah gagal akibat gangguan teruk kepada liputan Gunung Jerai 94.9MHz.

Bukit Larut hanya 1 frekuensi saje.. Iaitu FM 105.7MHz...

Frekuensi lain seperti 88.8Mhz, 92.4Mhz memang tidak boleh pakai kerana gangguan teruk.

Jika Kool FM melancarkan frekuensinya di Bukit Larut 105.7MHz, sementara waktu boleh meliputi Ipoh juga, tetapi kawasan lain Perak Tengah akan mengalami gangguan dengan Lite FM 105.7MHz Gunung Ulu Kali...

Untuk wilayah Pantai Timur pula? Kool FM sekurang-kurang perlu melancarkan pemancarnya di Bukit Pelindung untuk Pahang Timur/Kuantan. 103.7MHz mungkin sesuai kot...?

Nantikan lah...
