WahFM has been doing really well uncovering hidden issues, discussing sensitive matters, opening the floor to the public.
They are in fact, challenging their limits of freedom, which is a good sign for a radio station. and i believe this is why many switched to wahFM.

If WahFM is warned or closed down, oh ya, no more challenges can be made, keep it to yourself, government.

Keep a look out for the relaunch of Radiq Radio

:D

well if the radio station is not profitable- in the red after a definite period
of course the best logical commercial decision is to stop the bleeding

why cant we accept that some business may fail be it a chinese, malay or indian operated

perhaps we should not be myopic and considered a failed chinese radio station as a slap in the face of the chinese community.

well. overall it is still a guessing game to the public like us.......
but somehow I feel something fishy behind the story, especially those DJ...I feel that they know something happen in their management....but they coulden't say it on air....choke like the blardy haaaazeeeee!!!!

definitely true and agree.


somehow, WahFM has stated in the evening that they are not going to close down as speculated.

a goods news indeed.

chinese station/business close down because seeing red is acceptable. otherwise is frustrating, especially a station with such good quality.
have a feeling its not due to lose. sure like to know why.
