Radio Guide Update: Virgin Radio Jordan on 93.7 FM ... soon!

Yes, its finally official.

The station broadcasting on 93.7 FM in the Amman Greater Area is Virgin Radio Jordan.

After over 2 years of random music broadcasting without a station title on 93.7 FM but a random RDS name that goes by the name of "Nojoum FM".

and after witnessing a store in City Mall that now is almost finished but not equipped yet, and is obviously nothing but the station's studio [studio in the mall, how cool is that :) ]

Virgin Radio Jordan seems to be lunching just around the corner as , i expect, a CHR radio of another kind, one that would play both arabic and western contemporary hits! this is what i can see from what they are playing on 93.7 FM at the moment.

More soon! Hopefully!

UPDATE: No signal is available any more on 93.7 FM

Radio Guide Update: Mazaj FM on 101.7 FM in Irbid

Mazaj FM started broadcasting in irbid on 101.7 FM earlier this month.

This is the 1st frequency for Mazaj FM and seagulls in general outside the Greater Amman Area. and this will add some change on the radio scene in the northern jordanian city of irbid, since Mazaj FM is a differently themed radio station than the other operating ones in Irbid area.

Radio Guide Update: Ayyam FM also in Irbid and Ma'an

Spin FM Jordan, which started broadcasting today in Amman on 94.1 FM. has also started broadcasting in irbid and northern Jordan on 88.3 FM. and in Ma'an and Petra on 88.5 FM.

By that, Spin FM becomes the 1st ever private western music station that gets a broadcasting license outside the capital Amman. and the 1st one to broadcast in the northern city of irbid, which has been suffering from the lack of a western hit music station, despite the rich market expected for such a station in a city full of campus students and western music lovers.

Ayyam FM, the communicorp arabic station in jordan, which was 1st decleared as Spin Arabia from the long waited Communicorp presence in Jordan, started broadcasting today on 91.5 FM in the Greater Amman Area. and is soon to broadcast in other areas around jordan.

Also about the sister station Spin Jordan

Radio Guide Update: Spin FM Jordan on 94.1 FM in Amman

Spin FM Jordan, the long waited radio station from Communicorp in Jordan, started broadcasting today on 94.1 FM in the Greater Amman Area. and is soon to broadcast in other areas around jordan.

Apparently, Spin Jordan will be close in style to the Irish Spin 1038, as a hit music station (yes, yet another one!), rather than the Czech Radio Spin (which is specialized in Rap, HipHop, RnB)

Also about the sister station Ayyam FM

A new Community Radio started its test transmission in Amman, the station, Farah FM, or Farah Al-Nass as it is being branded (إذاعة فرح الناس) is broadcasting on 98.5 FM in Amman Greater Area, and covering zarqa as well (since it seems to be broadcasted in eastern Amman.. I mentioned that its signal is pretty weak in western areas of Amman ).

The station, owned by Queen Zein Al-Sharaf institute for development and the Jordanian fund for Human resources development. and is said to concentrate on issues related to women and family.

Radio Guide Update: Sunny 105.1 FM

Sawt Amman, which has been broadcasting on 105.1 FM for over a year now. has been finally released. and started official broadcasting since yesterday on 105.1 FM in Amman. with the name "Sunny 105.1".

The station stopped playing Classical music, and is playing all types of music, mainly 90s and post-2K pop music.

I don't know how much of a smart move is this for Modern Media Corp, to have a radio station, almost, the same as Play 99.6, and with a morning show competitive for The Big Breakfast show on Play (it's not to be compared at the moment, but well..)

Maybe have a different kind of a radio station, with a different theme and gener of music. would have been more of a benefit for them...

Whatever happened to the classic music thingy!?
