AIR RAVES
By ANTHONY THANASAYAN


Join in the fun at Jelajah ERA as the station celebrates its birthday.

ERA FM turns 10 on Friday and the Bahasa Malaysia broadcaster from Airtime Management and Programming Sdn Bhd (AMP) is enjoying its No.1 status in listeners’ hearts.

To mark the occasion, ERA is touring 10 locations within the peninsula. Called Jelajah ERA, the tour kicked off on July 18.

The station has since made stops at Batu Pahat, in Johor, Port Dickson (Negri Sembilan), Seberang Perai (Penang) and Taiping, (Perak).

On Friday, the birthday tour will make its stop at Giant Hyper-market Sunway City in Ipoh.

Residents in Ipoh will be treated to a two-hour concert featuring rock band Kristal, Mila and Faizal Tahir.

Faizal Tahir will perform at a concert in Ipoh on Friday.

As ERA announcers continue to invite listeners to the various locations, listeners at home have been getting their daily dose of audio clips of the station’s previously aired concerts.

Meanwhile, be sure to catch MIX FM’s Lie Detector Test, which ends next Friday.

Regular announcers Serena C and Pietro on the MIX Breakfast Show (6am–10am) help you find out if your husband loves you or the idiot box more, among other things.

The polygraph machine is operated by Dr Akhbar Satar, a certified expert in the field. You can even win RM1,000 so tune in and find out how to go about it. Or, browse www.mix.fm for details.

Check out Love Classified that airs on weekdays (8pm-10pm) on Red FM, which is operated by The Star.

The programme treats listeners to splendid classic love songs from the 1980s to the present day.

Show presenter Nisha is re-freshing and makes great company for anyone who needs help in winding down in the evenings. It is hard not to fall in love with her mellifluous voice and the warmth she exudes in her show.

There are also interesting topics like “nightmare” and “monster” dates. Listeners share how they escaped from their blind dates through the back door or had dumped their dates at once when they realised it was a horrible mismatch.

Those who dare to share their stories with Nisha stand to win a singles’ pass for the Love Classified Singles Event, a dinner that takes place at Subang Sheraton’s Emperor Restaurant in Selangor, this Saturday.
