BFM 89.9


BFM 89.9 is a Malaysian independent business and current affairs-oriented radio station.
It first went on air on 4 September 2008, promoting itself as Malaysia's first business radio station with a goal "to build a better Malaysia by championing rational, evidence-based discourse as a key element of good policy decisions".

Programming

BFM as "The Business Station" provides its own dedicated business programmes which cover international and local business news headlines, stock market reports and interviews with corporate personalities and start-ups. Despite this, it also includes non-business programming into its roster such as interviews with experts on personal and professional development, health, and the arts. The station also made its foray into sports programming by having live broadcasts of Premier League matches since August 2009. BFM offers live talk programming between 6am and 9pm weekdays, and during its live Premier League football games during weekends.
BFM is also notable for playing adult-oriented rock music during non talk-programming segments, considered a rarity in Malaysia where more mainstream radio stations prefer to play recent pop music. It also plays Malay songs during off-peak hours from 11pm to 6am daily.

Frequencies

As the name suggests, the station can be received on 89.9 MHz in greater Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area. However, it can also be accessed in other parts of the Peninsular Malaysia as well under the same frequency:
Internationally, BFM 89.9 can be received in some Indonesia territories such as Dumai, Rupat, Medan, Tanjung Balai, and Bagansiapiapi via overspill signal.
