BORN OF IIUM FM

The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) today officially launched the live stream ‘IIUM.fm’ to inform campus community as well as the public and alumni around the world about its programmes and activities.


Speaking at the launch, its Rector Prof Datuk Dr Syed Arabi Idid said although it was being operated like a radio channel, IIUM.fm was not operating using the frequency normally used by radio channels to broadcast live.



He said IIUM.fm would be using live stream to broadcast channel in the internet in its bid to reach many alumni in various countries around the world and the public to share the latest update of the university’s programmes and activities.



IIUM Rector Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Syed Arabi Idid launched IIUM.FM Radio at Department of Communication on 26th May 2010. He hoped the radio station will become a bridge to link IIUM and the outside world.



“IIUM.fm operates from Kulliyyah Islamic Reveal Knowledge and Human Science (KIRKHS) building under the purview of the Department of Communication,” he said.



“IIUM.fm is broadcast 24 hours a day and we use English as the medium to communicate,” he said.
