98.8FM most certainly Sun FM

There has been so much of talk on whether 98.8FM will be Sun FM or Sha FM, however we can most certainly say that this is Sun FM. Testing is being carried out continuous using English music which indicates that this is a English Language Radio Station.

In addition we believe that this channel is being broadcast from the WTC. The channel is reportedly clear inside colombo city limits and we can confirm that coverage along the Negombo Road is the same as Gold FM. Only channels broadcast from the WTC have been able to maintain high levels of clarity along the Negombo Road.

We believe it is safe to assume that this is Sun 98.8FM or who knows maybe Gold FM will be shifted to 98.8FM and it will be back to Sun 99.9FM.

Please keep us updated on the latest as the days progress.

Amazing Race Asia Season 4 touches down in Sri Lanka

"The Amazing Race Asia", the Asian Edition of the one of the biggest reality shows in the US "The Amazing Race", touched down in Sri Lanka in a surprising move. Challenges were held in various locations in & around colombo. The pit stop for this leg of the race was the Independence Square and the next leg of the race which will be telecast next week is scheduled to begin in Sri Lanka with more challenges taking place.

The US Edition of "The Amazing Race" touched down in Sri Lanka several years ago on a short stop over, this is however a much longer visit.

It was a treat to see our locals from fisher folk to garment factories getting involved in the show's challenges. The major set back was the shameful display by our Trishaw drivers who kept over charging the contestants by charging them whopping amounts such as Rs 900/= to Rs 3000/= for hires within Colombo.

The Amazing Race Asia is telecast over AXN Asia which is available in Sri Lanka on LBN & Dialog TV.

ABC testing 98.8FM -> Sun FM?

Asian Broadcasting Corporation is testing 98.8FM and we expect Sun FM to resume transmissions on the frequency. The location of the broadcast tower is not confirmed as yet. At the moment they are testing the channel using non stop English Music. The transmission is not as powerful as those of Gold FM but it may improve over the next few days.

Please keep us updated on the latest regarding these test transmissions.
