Its Sabah and Sarawak content manager Syazleey Zalsyam @ DJ Uno said it is time for Miri residents to crank it up and have some fun at ‘Astro Radio Launch’.

“We will transform Bintang Megamall to a day party hub with stage activities and performances.

“Through the launching, Astro Radio aspires to be more involved among the Sarawak communities by providing more choices in entertainment, information and in edutainment,” he told a press conference here yesterday.

Syazleey said his team would continue to position Astro Radio as a market leader in the state, with the most #1 stations in three languages (English, Malay and Chinese). This is in line with Astro Radio’s localisation efforts.

“Astro Radio has conceptualized and offered different segments to suit the local flavour across its three radio stations.

“Listeners in the city will feel more relevant with the localised content, which includes local news and updates in and around the neighbourhood.”

He added its unique features and strong radio personalities had also cultivated strong relationships and partnership with local marketers.

“Mark your calendar and brace yourself for a celebration that is out of this world as the Astro Radio launch will crank it up and give it to you ‘live’ in Miri.”

Among the popular Malaysian artistes slated to entertain the crowd are Hafiz, Pink. Estranged, Dina, Shac, Osha, Afick from ERA FM, Jack Lim, Mei Yan, Jeff Chin, Ai Sing, Penny from MY FM, Natalie, Ean, Mmmeng and Kioshi from HITZ FM.

Fans will get the chance to take pictures and autographs with their favourite artistes and announcers. There will also be goodies to be won.

The event will be live on air through ERA FM at 10am to 11am, HITZ FM from 1pm-2pm and MY FM from 2pm to 3pm or via online and mobile applications.

Also present at the conference was Miri Housing Group chairman Datuk Lau Siu Wai.
