Gegar (radio station)

Gegar (formerly known as THR Gegar)[1] is a Malaysian Malay language radio station operated by Astro Radio Sdn. Bhd. The radio station targets East Coast Peninsular listeners and plays music from local artists, as well as some Islamic-related content. In late 2017, the former THR Gegar is rated as the No. 1 radio brand in the East Coast with 2.8 million weekly listeners by the GfK's Wave 2 Radio Audience Measurement (RAM).[2][3] The rebranding on 1 January 2018 removed the "THR" name from Gegar, and the change also happened to Raaga.[1]
