Radio Boardcast

Radio Analouge Boardcast its still transmitting today on the world of “digital”-ization, is more people all shift to smartphone. and some country like on UK in eroupe now have DAB+ to transmitting Radio Boardcast. not except Indonesia is now testing the DAB+ at some City available (include Jakara ch 12D RRI Jakarta, Jogjakarta, etc), and DRM (but i dont know what city still test with this method). For countryside still dont have digitalization for the Radio, and today we lost more and more radio station on countryside, and they has fully with advertisment, mainly with “herb medicine” or “alternative medicine”. but still is can be alternative a public entertainment for poor people, in car, hobbyist, and old people.

In Cirebon (West)

In Cirebon instead we have Public Boardcast is RRI Cirebon, but since budget savings for goverment we now just can listen RRI on PROGRAME 1 at 94,8FM and 864AM but is some time the AM is offair, then we have a RRI PROGRAMME 2 at 97,5FM. Programme 3? nope, we dont have this on Cirebon, before 2024 in Cirebon can listen Programme 3 at 99,6FM or 999AM (AM have with tiny signal, before 2023 AM have receiving with strong signal). other Radio Station we have on Cirebon is: Dairi FM, Pilar Radio, Cirebon Radio, DB Radio, Radio Indah Siar, Kita FM, etc (see Video Above - Record at 2025-07-23)

What I Hope next to Radio

Instead we use a digital Radio, i want still use Radio in the analouge FM or AM or maybe goverment with RRI on channel VOI made more Coverage on Shortwave AM for covering All Indonesia Territory. I was tested DAB is not best for mobility, because DAB; “eat” more bandwidth frequency 1.5MHz instead FM only 75kHz, on this testing stage still hard to get DAB in tune (i was test on Jakarta with DAB) and the DAB radio modulation is so fragile i cant get listen because have few noise or small movement on antenna and DAB may have change to monopolize by some corporate like what DVB on TV now they big corporate is controlling transmitter. i want a freedom for the local FM boardcast like they on analouge or maybe use the DRM (but i dont have test with DRM modulation, but again DRM still have best practice 1 transmitter with small group boardcast not monopolize all, or DAB Transmitter/Multiplexer have to owned by Central Goverment/Public Boardcast or owned by Local Goverment or by Ministry of Communication)
