Asia’s only locally produced and regionally-syndicated weekly music show will be added to six more stations across Indonesia and Thailand.
Asia Pop 40, produced by Singapore’s Eon Media Group Pte. Ltd., is now airing weekly on the El John Radio Network across Sumatra, Indonesia, on Saturday evenings from 7 pm to 10 pm and Sunday afternoons from 1pm to 4pm every week.
It is also airing on sister station NinetySix FM on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 8am to 11:am. The main markets in Indonesia served by the El John Radio Network include Palembang and Peknabaru, among others.
El John Radio Network’s Programme Director & Producer, Ferry Anggara, commented: “Asia Pop 40 is cool! It not only plays the top-40 songs but also fun segments like ‘Hit Predictions,’ which sets this show apart from others. With its interesting line-up of music and shows, and its broad reach across Asia, we are excited to be part of the Asia Pop 40 family.”
Asia Pop 40 was also added recently to Bangkok-based BKK.FM. The show can be heard weekly during Friday evening drive-time from 5 pm to 8 pm, and on Sunday evenings from 9 pm to 11:59pm.
BKK.FM’s Managing Director Mike Somerville stated: “BKK.FM is honored by our new partnership with the team at Asia Pop 40. We know that it will become one of our most popular weekly shows. We now air it twice a week in response to requests from our listeners from all over the world, including from Europe, the United States and Canada.”
Singapore’s EON Media Group produces Asia Pop 40. CEO and Executive Producer Rob Graham said: “We are thrilled that AP40 is now being heard across even more stations in Indonesia and Thailand. The addition of AP40 to the El John Radio Network means that AP40 is now heard on 17 stations in Indonesia and five across Thailand.”
