Abstract

Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk meneliti perkembangan transformasi industri radio di Radio Televisyen Malaysia. Kajian yang menggunakan kaedah kualitatif menerusi analisis terhadap dokumen kajian; (1) Pembangunan dan Perkembangan Penyiaran Radio Digital di Malaysia: Satu Kajian Kes di Radio Televisyen Malaysia; dan (2) Analisis Implikasi Perkembangan Industri Radio dari Era Penyiaran Konvensional ke Era Penyiaran Digital: 1996-2016.Transformasi penyiaran radio konvensional global tidak terhasil secara sendiri. Ia terhasil daripada fenomena digitalisasi dan dibentuk oleh senario industri media. Senario industri media mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan ekonomi dan politik sesebuah negara. Setiap perubahan yang berlaku terhadap penyiaran radio dibuat adalah berasaskan kepada dasar dan perancangan sesebuah negara. Perancangan pendigitalan industri radio di Malaysia telah dimulakan seawal tahun 1997 oleh Radio Televisyen Malaysia. Langkah tersebut diambil selaras dengan Dasar Telekomunikasi Negara dan Dasar Pembangunan Nasional. Bagaimanapun, terdapat jurang pendigitalan yang ketara antara badan penyiaran nasional dan swasta. Hasil analisis mendapati bahawa badan penyiaran nasional itu mempunyai visi dan misi yang jelas mengenai pendigitalan radio, namun pelaksanaan kepada perancangan tersebut berhadapan dengan pelbagai kekangan dan cabaran. Ia menjadikan usaha pendigitalan radio free-to-air di Malaysia sebagai sesuatu yang tidak pasti.
 
 The objective of this study is to examine the development of radio industry transformation in Radio Televisyen Malaysia. This study uses qualitative methods by analysing research documents; (1) Development of Digital Radio Broadcasting in Malaysia: A Case Study in Radio Television Malaysia; and (2) Implications analysis of Radio Industry Development from the Conventional Era to Digital Era: 1996-2016. The transformation in global conventional radio broadcasting did not happen on its own. It resulted from the digitalisation phenomenon and shaped by the scenario in the media industry. The scenario in the media industry has a significant relationship with the economy and politics of a country. Every change that occurs in radio broadcasting is made based on the policies and plans of a country. In Malaysia, Radio Televisyen Malaysia has started their plan for digitalisation in radio as early as 1997. The action is taken in line with the National Telecommunications Policy and the National Development Policy. However, there is a significant digitalisation gap between national and private broadcasting bodies. The result shows that the national broadcasting body has a clear vision and mission on radio digitalisation; however, its implementation faces various constraints and challenges. It makes the digitalisation of free-to-air radio in Malaysia uncertain.
