Welcome to IIUM.fm's blog archive!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. everyone!


This blog serves as an archive of IIUM.fm previous achievements throughout the years of 2010 - 2011. Despite being no longer active, the previous crew of IIUM.fm had decided to keep this blog as it is so visitors and past IIUM.fm crews alike can relive those great memories created over the first two years of the campus radio's establishment.

We thank you for all the work and dedication of the IIUM.fm senior crew in the past. It had been indeed, a beautiful journey. =')

But the ride does not stop here! We also warmly welcome new and exciting junior crews to continue living up the spirit of IIUM.fm! Starting from 2012, the campus radio had a new re-branding of its logo and a complete makeover of its radio lab with the latest radio technology--even more advanced than those used in commercial local radio stations!

We seniors are extremely thrilled and proud to see the vast improvements of our beloved radio, and we hope that IIUM.fm will continue its success towards becoming a renowned campus radio in Malaysia. =)

You can access the new and improved IIUM.fm by clicking the link below:

IIUM.fm's Birthday Bash A Success!

Salam gorgeous people!


Already celebrating away your semester break? We sure believe you are! It is definitely the time to embrace that much-awaited free time and spend quality time with friends and family! For those traveling to various parts of Malaysia or the rest of the world, IIUM.fm would like to wish all of you a safe and smooth trip back home, and may Allah bless your journey along the way. We would also like to wish you a fulfilling long semester break and of course, Insyaallah, we'll meet you again next semester with more new content and talents! ^_^

For those who didn't know, IIUM.fm has celebrated it's first birthday bash on the 17th June 2011!! The bash was held at the Human Sciences (HS) Square and there were much entertainment from fellow students, lots of food (yes, a lot of food for just tea-time!) and of course, a birthday bash wouldn't be complete without a birthday CAKE and birthday cupcakes!!! Let's go through the eventful celebration in pictures, shall we? \^0^/

The birthday bash began with a few opening words by IIUM.fm's own deejay, Amierah Amer

The Head of Department of Communication (HS), Dr. Che Mahzan Ahmad giving out his short speech

The Dean of IRKHS, Dr. Badri Najib Zubir reminiscing the achievements of IIUM.fm in his speech

The audience were shown a video show on the history and the journey of IIUM.fm throughout it's first year

A sudden gimmick that caught everyone in surprise & excitement!

The bash had another emcee of the day, Bro. Junaidy Abidin who showed us a couple of cool dance moves!

The first performance for the bash was from the Palestinian group, impressing the audience with their traditional warrior dance!

The ceremony was toned down for a while with some soulful nasyeed from the members of IIUM's Nasyid Club

The event was hyped up again with a dance performance from Syria!

An awesome solo move by one of the Syrian dancers!

The last performance of the day with more soulful songs from IIUM's Acoustic Band club

Aww... IIUM.fm's founding father, Sir Johanni Saleh, Dr. Che Mahzan & Dr. Badri Najib in union to cut the IIUM.fm's birthday cake!

The bash ended oh-so-nicely with, of course, 'makan' time!

Our lovely customised cupcakes!!! =D

Yeah, FOOD!

The best way to end your 'makan' - have a chit chat!

Our guests seemed to be enjoying themselves!

Maybe enjoying a bit too much? =D

All in all, the bash was a success and we'd like to thank everyone who made it happen and to all those who came and made it awesome!

~~~

Besides the wonderful birthday bash, IIUM.fm also had a major makeover in the radio lab which not many of us are aware about! So what exactly is it? =P

The conty has been moved to the radio classroom! Whee~!

Sir Jo and radio technician Khairoul setting up the system. The new conty looks more professional now!

How about it? Cool eh? =D

So many pictures in one post! So many stuffs went on in one day! And despite a few setbacks, what a fantastic day it was =) For more pictures of the event, just head on to our Facebook group!

So as you're enjoying your holidays, why not have a listen to your campus radio at any time, wherever you are around the world \^0^/

IIUM.FM's First Birthday!

Salam gorgeous people! ;D

No kidding! IIUM.FM is already one years old?? YES!!! Finally the happy news is out to all!!! \^0^/

IIUM.FM was officially launched on the 26th of May 2010 by IIUM's Rector, Prof. Dato' Sri Dr. Syed Arabi Idid. The Internet radio serves as a platform for Communication major students specialising in Electronic Media to learn and apply their radio broadcasting skills via assignments, projects, practicum or practical training. Since the radio can be heard through Internet streaming (and being under an international university), its format is international music and has listeners from all across the globe including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Yemen, Montenegro, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Korea, Netherlands, Taiwan, United States, Thailand, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, and Egypt (based on our traffic record in January 2011).

A Communication lecturer, Sir Aznan Mat Piah, who specialised in teaching Public Relations had explained in his blog so beautifully in detail the unique content of IIUM.FM that it is an honour to include it here:

The radio broadcast gives good opportunity for students to have the real feeling of being involved in the operation of the broadcast station where they prepare news, gather information, carry out live interviews, and organize and prepare programs for broadcasts under the able guidance of their experienced lecturer and a broadcaster, Mr. Johanni Saleh. The contents of the broadcast vary from current news items, and campus activities to research and academic highlights, and scholastic views on social and religious matters, particularly relating to Islam and its portrayal in society and the media.

You can read his full article about the radio right HERE.

IIUM.FM has come a long way since it's launch last year. Nonstop international music from China all the way till the US! Informative interviews of distinguished guests including renowned academicians, various cool programmes from talented deejays, top 20 music charts (remember Carta 20? =D), news from talented newscasters, retro hits shows, weekly live telecast of the Friday khutbah directly from the IIUM mosque, and lots more! Phew!

Various events are also covered by the IIUM.FM team including the OIC International Debate Championship, IIUM Convocation Fiesta (Convest) 2010 promotion in  IIUM Kuantan campus, mahalah events (Mahalah Aminah), IIUM PC Fair 2010, launching of the new Bank Muamalat branch in IIUM, and IIUM's Ummatic Week!

All contents are produced by students, for both students and the general public. The IIUM.FM crew would always improve and upgrade their performances from time to time with the support and encouragements from the radio's listeners. Suggestions and constructive criticisms are also very much welcomed. Because, hey, IIUM.FM aims to provide the best just for you! =D

All in all, IIUM.FM would not be as it stands today without its founding father, Sir Johanni Saleh, lecturer, supervisor and mentor for all Electronic Media students. Simply called Sir Jo by students and lecturers under the Communication Department, he is best known for his vast experience of more than 20 years in the radio broadcasting industry. A special THANK YOU we bid to you, Sir Jo! =)

Of course, a birthday wouldn't be complete without a birthday celebration!!So when exactly is IIUM.FM's first birthday bash? You just got to stay tune to find out, coz an update on that is on the way!


Countdown to IIUM.FM's first birthday: TWO DAYS TO GO PEOPLE!!! WOOHHHOOO!!! \^0^/

As always, keep on sticking with IIUM.FM, Your Campus Radio! =D
