Seems to intend to change their schedule, but I am not sure just what they are doing. In the past I believe the schedule was Klasik Nasional (KN) FM was 24 hours a day only on 5964.91. Asyik FM was on 6049.60 from 0500 to 1400, then into Radio Suara Islam/Voice of Islam program from 1400 to 1700*.
Heard the following on May 16:
5964.91, from 1347 to 1400, clearly heard with two audio feeds: one was KN FM, which is normally heard here. Mixing with the audio of Asyik FM, which has not been heard here before. BOTH audios parallel with the two audios on 6049.60. Both stations in vernacular and playing music.
1400-1516, heavy interference here from China Radio International (in Korean from 1400 to 1457 and after 1500 in Russian). Occasionally I could clearly hear KN FM programming under the QRM. Think the audio feed for Asyik FM ended at 1400, but hard to be sure. Believe KN FM was the only one here from 1400 to 1516 tune out, but am not positive.
6049.60, from 1347 to 1400, clearly heard with two audio feeds: one was KN FM, which was heard here for the first time yesterday. Mixing with the audio of Asyik FM, which is normally here till 1400. BOTH audios parallel with the two audios on 5964.91
1400-1516, Asyik FM audio feed ended at 1400. KN FM was in the clear; RTM news; coverage of the Pakistan vs. S. Korea (Asian Cup field hockey) sports event; again with RTM news and sports news.
Perhaps (just a guess) they intend for KN FM to follow the Asyik FM programming at 1400 on 6049.60, as replacement for the former Radio Suara Islam program. Unable to predict what they intend to do with KN FM on 5964.91. What would happen to Radio Suara Islam programming? Move to another frequency? Needs more monitoring.

http://www.asyikfm.my/ frequency shown is from many years ago (ex: 6025).

Hi Ron,
Yes it seems there is a switching/feed mix-up at the moment on the two remaining domestic frequencies from Kajang. Audio from Klasik Nasional and Asyik FM is heard mixed together on both 5965v and 6050v at the moment. I'll try to check what is happening at 1400-1700 (when Voice of Islam is scheduled on 6050).
