History
The 98.7 FM frequency in Jakarta used to be an Islamic radio station called Er Radio or FMuslim. This channel was popular for Quran recital via phone call. In 2007, this frequency becomes vacant. In the same year, Mahaka Radio Integra (MARI) acquired this station after rebranding of Radio One Jakarta into 101 Jak FM.
The format pushed Indonesian Top 40 song, creating rivalry to 89.6 I-Radio, all Indonesian song radio, and some dangdut radio stations peaking the radio station ranking. New programming and professional DJ recruiting, especially former DJs from 101.4 Trax FM, paved Gen FM's way into number 1 radio in Jakarta.[2]
