Hitz.FM KK should played Sabahan local English songs.

Written by kaitor on 8:39 AM

As you all know, #No 1 English Radio Station in Malaysia, Hitz.FM already officially broadcast live from Kota Kinabalu. This was really great news for us sabahan to have our local content and information on No#1 English Radio Station in Malaysia. Yes I admit… I’m fan of Hitz.FM, and every morning I will listen to gotcha call. I also enjoy the songs played and Hollywood update every morning. Since Hitz.FM promises to provide local content I really excited to hear our local songs played on Hitz.FM. I was spend my whole day today driving my car around kota kinabalu city, I listen Hith.FM. As usual 10 in the morning to 1 afternoon, it was broadcast live from Kota Kinabalu studio.

I was a bit upset because there are no sabahan English songs played on Hitz.FM during Cassie and Rica on Air. Hey guys… it the best time for us to help improve our local music industry especially on English songs. If sabahan artists not given an opportunity and chance to played their song on Hitz especially during “sabah sections 10 am – 1 pm” , that means our local music industry will never grow up. I believe all the artists are really happy when heard their song played on top radio stations such as Hitz and it will encourage them to work hard and produce more and more songs in the future with high quality. I admit in sabah we still have very limited artists produce an English song but It doesn’t mean we left them behind. It time for helping them.. believe me.. in the future there will be more and more Sabahan artists will produce English songs if there are place and space for them to put their songs.

Maybe there will a few standard need to be fulfill before the songs can be played on Hitz , but why not give them a try first and advised for improvement. There are few Sabahan artist might have good quality of English songs such as Terry Peter, Atama, Andalusia, Ateng, W.O.R.M and Donatello. I highly recommend Cassy and Rica to look for their song and believe me tier song are not bad.



I check the programmes which broadcast live from Kota Kinabalu studio start 10 am to 1 pm on HItz.Fm official website , there are only 3 sections KKTOP 10, Hitz by Demand and HITZ SMS (Most Wanted). It will be good enough if 1 hour was given for Sabahan artist zone and I believe it will attract more listeners. It will never work if just pointing from one side onle, means Sabahan artist also need to work hard to compose and produce quality songs. Good luck all and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year Celebrations .. do not forget … HITZ also have their new year countdown party at 1Borneo .

Era FM, HitZ Fm and My Fm Officialy operating in Sabah

Written by kaitor on 9:13 AM

KOTA KINABALU: Local talents in Sabah may have the chance to make it big in the music industry after all, thanks to opportunity by AMP Radio Networks with the launch of its three radio channels here, yesterday.

“We know there are a lot of talented people in Sabah, and the Akademi Fantasia (AF) show is just an evidence of this. We welcome anyone to share his or her talents with us … your songs may be played, not just here but also in the national channels,” said AMP Radio Networks executive director Datuk Borhanuddin Osman.

Speaking during the official launch of the three-hour live ERA fm, MY FM and hitz.fm broadcast here yesterday, he said the broadcast involves exclusive local facelift to engage local listeners in a more personal way.

For the initial stage, the three radio stations are set to air local content, weekdays from 10am to 1pm live from the Kota Kinabalu studio, hosted by homegrown announcers – Cassie and Rica for hitz.fm; Ily and Beebey (ERA fm); and Gin and Min Jun (MY FM).

Stressing the move was not an after-thought, Borhanuddin said they have been playing with the local sound after going through many years of understanding the market demand in Sabah.

“Our focus on Kota Kinabalu is an important move forward as we respond to the people’s calls to provide more local information, updates about happenings here and contests designed for locals, in addition to the national segments already on offer,” he said.

He said being the radio market leader, it was a natural step for AMP to reach closer to the people in the city while they work on ways to improve the quality of sound by upgrading transmitters located here and its surrounding areas.

“Our station here is getting the newest equipment. Currently, the coverage is just within Kota Kinabalu but we hope, eventually, we will reach out to other areas as well,” he said, adding their Bayu station is penetrating into places they cannot go.

He stressed: “We are here. We are serious. We know the competition but I think it is good, because I do not see any other medium as a competition. People used to say that the print media and radio will die but we evolve. We are here to stay.”

AMP Radio Networks group general manager (Programming), Jake Abdullah, meanwhile, said their presence is to build the bridge, especially for talented people both in the west and east of Malaysia.

“Our market research showed that the people here (in Sabah) like our brands (referring to the radio channels) but they felt left out. They want to go to concerts, take part in contests, and listen to local happenings … we hear you, and that is why we are here,” said Jake.

Gambus 2010 - Lembaga Kebudayaan Negeri Sabah

Written by kaitor on 8:50 AM

Being a entertainment blogger is not an easy task for me and I’m not have official educations in music. I was take it a challenge and for now I already started to understand few music words and getting more and more knowledge and I encourage me to get more seriously blogging. Some of my readers do not know who am I? but I am comfortable to remind anonymous . I was surprise there are huge traffic increment from early of this years and starznews started to receive an invitations from big organizations such as astro, Kerajaan Negeri Sabah and latest invitations from Lembaga Kebudayaan Sabah.

This event, Gambus Plus 2010 organized by Lembaga kebbudayaan Negeri Sabah and supported by Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). The event will be on 17 December 2010 (this coming Friday) starting from 7 pm until 10.00 pm.

Gambus is a traditional music instrument and it is the most common lute found in a variety of styles in Malay folk music as well as syncretic music such as ghazal. It is also used to accompany song and dance in Sabah. Originating from the Middle East, the Malaysian version uses 9 to 12 wire strings which are plucked. There are two types of gambus in use, the Gambus Hadramaut and Gambus Hijaz.


I will update this post what happening on Gambus Plus 2010 soon because I will never leave this opportunity…. Looking forward for this Gambus Plus 2010… really excited.

As I had promises to I will update this post what happening on this Gambus Plus event. Gambus Plus was officially launch by Datuk Masidi Manjun, Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Environment . Gambus Plus is the idea from Datuk Masidi Manjun to create new opportunity for traditional music noticed by public. According to Apai, it not easy to arrange music by combining the modern and traditional music because it come from different era.
