Some observations when i'm testing some headphones...

The sg fm stations (at least the mediacorp ones) decided to turn on rds radio text on their fms...

But it's only used for put the full name from what i see... No now playing data here...

Interesting that Anyone would do something with FM in 2024...

Here's some detail for those interested... PTY still #9 even for talk, PS missing a letter for some reason on the decoder, normal on my phone, interesting data on the end of radiotext here...

I remember Fly fm got radio text test #1, #2, #3 when it got received here, I wonder what other stations broadcast on their FMs, can't receive much here...

I think the RTM stations (in JB) have generic RDS radio text - that has been the same over the years. Certain radio stations also broadcast radio text too (although generic). In the past Symphony 924 had also experimenting transmitting music info, but have since no longer broadcast.

Astro Radio's RDS was for some reason, disabled in Gunung Pulai. When it is available, it broadcasts just radio text (example : HITZ____, MY______).

I don't know if they broadcast programme PTY or not.

A huge problem for Melody, because in JB there are 2 frequencies, and 98.4FM doesn't give best listening results in Central JB to protect 987 in Singapore. When XFM (the frequency's former user) first started in JB, they was using 103.3 FM initially covering Central Johor Bahru and 98.4FM was added later (frequency usage has already become so full in Southern Johor back then in 2000s that no more stations can be broadcast in Gunung Pulai due to that - Bernama Radio was able to be added on Gunung Pulai only because 107.5 FM RTM FMJB was closed from RTM Johor in 2010/11!)

Once you move away from central JB, the reception of 103.3 FM becomes weak that it will automatically switched to 98.4FM/103.3 FM replaced entirely by Minnal FM's Melaka/North Johor frequency. It is no longer possible at the moment because 98.4FM failed to carry RDS data.

This is applicable for 988 too. Hot FM had get away for not transmitting RDS for many years until they fixed that during the major rebrand of Media Prima Audio. RDS is so broken, at least for the implementation in Malaysia.

In fact RDS feature is so essential in Malaysia because all the main radio stations broadcast in multiple frequencies and it is necessary to change frequencies when you move from one state to another state. It is dangerous to change frequencies while driving on the move and by not transmitting RDS, you potentially will lose listeners because they changed to other radio stations when the current radio transmitter is out of range! It is awkward that some car radios in Malaysia (mainly Perodua) doesn't even support RDS! RDS support should be mandated here on ALL FM transmitters and ALL cars that include FM that sold in Malaysia.

FM is here to stay as there are no equivalent digital terrestrial broadcast system just yet (in Malaysia/Singapore). Singapore even switched off DAB broadcast back in 2011 citing low adoption. Internet streaming or listening via DVB-T/satellite are simply no match to terrestrial radio broadcast systems during emergencies.

Can confirm that, rds isn't implemented too well here... Hence the test text on fly fm last time i see. Auto frequency shift (AF) in rds would be very useful here when driving interstate, but they don't implement here unfortunately, not helped by not many radios has the feature built in (mainly conti stock radios have rds, cheaper cars/android car radios may not have that)...

We probably can't see much more developments on rds in the future, all bets are on online listening (on smart car radios/phones on car stands)...
