History
The 98.7 FM frequency in Jakarta used to be an Islamic radio station called Er Radio or FMuslim. This channel was popular for Quran recital via phone call. In 2000, this frequency becomes vacant. In the same year, Mahaka Radio Integra (MARI) acquired this station after rebranding of Radio One Jakarta into 101 Jak FM.
The format pushed International Top 40 song, creating rivalry to 88.0 Mustang FM, all 80% Indonesian song radio, and peaking the radio station ranking. New programming and professional DJ recruiting, especially DJs from 2000's, paved Gen FM's way into number 1 radio in Jakarta.[2]
