Red FM proves to be a hit with radio listeners.

IT has been proven that Red FM is your best friend who keeps you entertained when you are on your way to work and driving home. This is because the time spent listening to Red FM is the highest among the Top 3 English radio stations targeted at those aged 35 and below.

Survey results released by Nielsen recently showed that Red FM's new programme line-up has managed to amass a loyal base of listeners, who tune in for the exciting content delivered by the announcers.

The Red Breakfast show is the only breakfast segment to have grown among the Top 5 English radio stations. Both the numbers of listeners tuning in and the amount of time listeners stay tuned to the show have gone up. The new Breakfast line-up also marked the return of Lil' Kev to radio.

Listener Preetha Kumar says: "I love listening to the witty comments by Lil' Kev and Sarimah. I'm glad to have Lil' Kev back on air."

Eng Shu Fen comments that "the guests on their show are usually very interesting people, my favourite was Pandelela Rinong, our national hero. "

The amount of time spent listening to The Red Fix has increased as well, and in general, listeners say it's because they enjoy the smart yet funny debates which hosts Terry and Azura have during their show. Julian Timothy says: "The Red Fix offers a good distraction. When I tune in, it's as if I'm transported to a realm of adventure and fun away from the jam I'm stuck in."

Red FM would like to thank its loyal listeners for their feedback and support.

The station will keep on entertaining listeners all day with a combination of music, from the latest to all time favourites and relevant content. Red FM is operated by The Star.
