Top 15 radio stations in Malaysia by online reach

Which radio stations are popular online in Malaysia? In terms of social media reach, ERA has the most followers and subscribers on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Radio seems to have the best prospect among all the traditional media. It is not dying like print circulations, it is not as competitive as the TV landscape, people are still listening to radio stations while driving, etc.

On top of that, radio stations get to grow their online reach via social media channels. In this article, we are going to investigate which radio stations are doing well on social media.

Similar to the TV stations, the radio industry is mostly monopolized by Astro and Media Prima, plus two stations under the Star Media Group, here’s the list of radio stations by the media groups:

Astro: HITZ, MIX, LITE, ERA, SINAR, GEGAR, ZAYAN, MY, GOXUAN, MELODY, RAAGA
Media Prima: Fly FM, Hot FM, 8FM (One FM), Buletin FM (Kool FM)
Star Media Group: Suria FM, 988
Independent: BFM

If you noticed, all radio stations under Astro have dropped “FM” from their brands. Perhaps, it’s aligned with their converged media strategy in the digital age, they are no longer just radio stations.
