Hot FM, Malaysia’s number one radio station as confirmed by the latest Nielsen survey, has once again raised the bar in the industry. Through its landmark campaign, Bekpes Hot Tawan Puncak Kinabalu, the station earned a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records for the “Longest Non-Stop Radio Broadcast on Mount Kinabalu” a groundbreaking 24-hour achievement that no other Malaysian radio station has dared to attempt.
Taking Broadcast Beyond the Airwaves
The Bekpes Hot team – featuring Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ), Johan, Fara, and AG – embarked on this historic expedition, broadcasting live while climbing Mount Kinabalu. This wasn’t just another campaign; it was a bold demonstration of storytelling, innovation, and resilience, designed to capture the hearts of listeners through authentic, realtime experiences.
Starting from Timpohon Gate on 14 November 2024, the team reached the summit at 6:15 a.m. the next day. Fans tuned in to follow every moment of their journey, from the challenges of the trek to the emotional triumph at the summit. The raw, unfiltered moments shared during the climb created a deeper connection with the audience, making it an unforgettable campaign for both listeners and partners.
