Hot FM@LRT provides customised content for commuters

(Marketingmagazine.com.my) – Rapid KL, Big Tree Outdoor (Big Tree) and Hot FM today announced a collaboration between the three parties that would enable Light Rapid Transit (“LRT”) commuters to enjoy Hot FM content at selected LRT stations.

Beginning 1 September 2016, Hot FM, through Hot FM@LRT will be broadcasting its content at several stations along the Kelana Jaya line. These include the KLCC, KL Sentral, Masjid Jamek, Wangsa Maju and Bank Rakyat (Bangsar) LRT stations.

The Hot FM@LRT content will be specifically customised for commuters and will feature the best music selections from Hot FM minus the radio announcers.

Set to entertain commuters daily from 6.00 AM to 12 midnight, the new Hot FM@LRT will feature a selection of popular songs in various languages such as Malay, English, Chinese, Korean and Hindi. The selection of music genres is based on the observed demographic trends of LRT commuters.

The new Hot FM @LRT will also feature regular safety announcements from RAPID KL and the company is also exploring the possibly of launching other forms of content.

It is estimated that Malaysia will see over 500,000 daily LRT commuters.

The new service will target listeners aged 15 – 30-year-old demographic from various social backgrounds who earn a monthly household income of above RM3,000.
