KUANTAN, Feb 13 — Radio broadcasts of TAWAUfm, SANDAKANfm, KENINGAUfm, LABUANfm, and LANGKAWIfm that have previously started at 7am will now begin at 6am, said Broadcasting director-general Suhaimi Sulaiman.
He said the broadcast time of KENINGAUfm, which ended at 5pm, has been extended by two hours until 7pm.

The local stations in Sabah, namely TAWAUfm, SANDAKANfm and KENINGAUfm, will continue to broadcast SABAHfm and NATIONALfm until 6am the next day while LABUANfm and LANGKAWIfm will continue to broadcast NATIONALfm.
“The move is part of RTM’s ongoing efforts to provide up-to-date information to our loyal listeners, especially the local community, for free,” he said in his speech in conjunction with World Radio Day 2023 celebration at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Broadcasting Complex here today,
The event was officiated by Pahang Communications and Multimedia, Youth, Sports and Non-Government Committee chairman Fadzli Mohamad Kamal.
