Communications Fiji Limited, the parent company Legend FM, FM96, Viti FM, Navtarang and Sargam has today announced as part of it's $1.2 million radio transmission upgrade the strengthening of transmission signals in the Ba region for all the CFL stations.

As part of the upgrade, CFL has added a new Legend FM transmitter to its Ba site broadcasting on 107.2FM.

Previously Ba listeners to Legend FM had to rely on signals from Lautoka or Rakiraki.

CFL General Manager, Ian Jackson said Legend FM's growing importance as a source of news, information and great music meant this move was critical.

This is the latest stage in a transmission investment program that commenced with the replacement of CFL's transmission mast at Nakobalevu late last year.

Jackson said CFL is currently replacing its transmission mast and hut at Lololo, between Lautoka and Ba.

He said the site is critical in delivering signals to the Western division.

Jackson said the site was damaged in Cyclone Mick affecting coverage however the new facility will ensure this never happens again.

He said the $1.2 million investment program that CFL has undertaken is funded entirely from company reserves and will make sure that the company continues to provide the widest possible transmission in all weather conditions.

Jackson also reveals that before the end of this year, there will be an upgrade of transmission signals in the Northern division and the Sigatoka/Coral Coast region.
