Hot FM Recognised by ASEAN Records for Highest Continuous Live Radio Broadcast from Merdeka 118

ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise Hot FM for achieving the milestone:

Highest Continuous Live Radio Broadcast from the World’s Second Tallest Building, Merdeka 118 (Level G to Spire Level 16; 566 m above ground; 4 hours 5 minutes uninterrupted; 4 announcers; 18 May 2026)

This recognition marks a major achievement in Malaysian broadcasting, showcasing Hot FM’s creativity, courage, and innovation in taking live radio beyond the studio and onto one of the world’s most iconic architectural landmarks.

Broadcasting Live from the Peak of Merdeka 118

On 18 May 2026, Hot FM created history through its special campaign, #BekpesHotTaklukMerdeka118, broadcasting live from Merdeka 118, Malaysia’s tallest building and the second tallest building in the world.

The broadcast took place from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, bringing listeners along the Bekpes Hot team’s journey across the upper levels of Merdeka 118, from Level 118 to Level 119, before reaching The Spire at 566 metres above ground.

Featuring Hot FM announcers Khairy Jamaluddin, Johan, Fara Fauzana, and AG Azmeer, the mission delivered an unforgettable live radio experience from different locations at the top of the iconic tower.

A Bold Challenge in Live Broadcasting

The achievement was made possible through close collaboration with PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn. Berhad, the owner of Merdeka 118, whose support played an important role in ensuring the mission was carried out smoothly and safely.

Unlike a conventional studio broadcast, the challenge required careful coordination, technical planning, and live transmission stability from one of the highest broadcast locations in the region.

The campaign formed part of Hot FM’s continued series of extreme and unconventional broadcast missions, following previous initiatives such as broadcasting from the ETS, Mount Kinabalu, underwater, and a 420-kilometre cycling journey from Alor Setar to Shah Alam.

Redefining Radio Beyond the Studio

#BekpesHotTaklukMerdeka118 reflects Hot FM’s commitment to creating content that is not only heard, but remembered.

The campaign showcased radio as more than an in-studio medium, positioning Hot FM as an entertainment brand capable of delivering bold, immersive, and meaningful experiences for listeners.

By combining live broadcasting, adventure, national pride, and one of Malaysia’s most recognisable landmarks, the initiative helped elevate local broadcasting while celebrating Merdeka 118 as a symbol of Malaysian achievement.

A Milestone Moment of Recognition

The ASEAN Records certificate was officially presented on 18 May 2026 at Merdeka 118, Kuala Lumpur.

The recognition was certified and received by Nazri Noran, Chief Executive Officer of Media Prima Audio, together with Hot FM radio personalities Khairy Jamaluddin, Johan, Fara Fauzana, AG Azmeer, and the entire Hot FM team, in acknowledgement of their achievement in advancing innovative live radio broadcasting in the region.

Voices of Leadership

Reflecting on the recognition, Nazri Noran, Chief Executive Officer of Media Prima Audio, shared:

“Merdeka 118 is one of Malaysia’s most iconic landmarks, and we saw it as the next challenge after our previous broadcasting achievements. After broadcasting from Mount Kinabalu and beneath the sea, we wanted to push ourselves further by taking live radio to the top of Malaysia’s tallest building.

This initiative took nearly a year of planning together with PNB Merdeka Ventures. There were many challenges involved, especially weather conditions, wind, lightning risks, and maintaining stable broadcast lines at such an extreme height.

At Hot FM, we believe broadcasting is more than being inside a studio. We want to continue creating experiences that are exciting, meaningful, and capable of inspiring Malaysians to challenge themselves and do something extraordinary.”

Advancing Innovation in Broadcasting

This milestone reflects the growing evolution of media and entertainment, where audience engagement increasingly extends beyond conventional formats.

By combining live broadcasting with adventure, technical execution, and national landmarks, Hot FM continues to set new benchmarks for creative radio engagement within ASEAN.
