The Future of Broadcasting in Sabah: FM Meets AI

📡 The Future of Broadcasting in Sabah: FM Meets AI

Broadcasting has always been a powerful way to connect people. In Sabah, FM radio has long served as a bridge — reaching communities in rural villages, coastal areas, and even remote highlands. But in today’s digital world, broadcasting is no longer just about radio waves. It’s about creating a seamless ecosystem where traditional FM works hand-in-hand with modern AI-powered digital platforms.

🌍 Why FM Radio Still Matters in Sabah

• Wide Reach: FM remains the most accessible technology in areas where internet coverage is weak. A simple radio can connect communities without needing smartphones or data plans.
• Trust & Familiarity: Many rural audiences still trust FM broadcasts for news, government updates, and cultural programs.
• Emergency Communication: During natural disasters, FM is often the fastest and most reliable channel.

🤖 Where AI Comes In

• AI-Powered Content Management: Automatically schedule programs, music, and announcements based on listener patterns.
• Voice-to-Text & Translation: Convert broadcasts into multiple languages instantly, reaching tourists and multi-ethnic communities.
• Personalized Experiences: Hotels, schools, and campuses can run AI-driven “micro-broadcasts” tailored for their local audiences.
• Smart Analytics: Understand listener engagement through AI insights, helping broadcasters design better shows and campaigns.

📱 Multi-Platform Delivery: Beyond FM

Modern broadcasting is hybrid. EMN helps clients extend FM into digital platforms:

• Internet Radio Streaming: Global tourists can listen to Sabah’s culture, music, and tourism promos from anywhere in the world.
• Mobile Apps & Podcasts: Local stations can repurpose FM content into podcasts and app-based streams.
• Social Media Integration: AI automatically clips highlights for Facebook, YouTube, or TikTok, extending audience reach.

🚀 EMN’s Role in Sabah’s Broadcasting Future

At Ephesians Media Network (EMN), we don’t see FM as outdated — we see it as the foundation. By integrating AI, IT, and AV solutions, we are building broadcasting systems that:

• Support rural coverage with FM towers and repeaters.
• Extend urban reach via internet streaming and digital signage.
• Provide custom in-house radio for hotels, resorts, and schools.
• Enhance tourism and cultural promotion with AI-powered scheduling and multilingual content.

✅ Conclusion

The future of broadcasting in Sabah is not FM versus AI — it’s FM plus AI. By combining traditional strengths with modern intelligence, we ensure that everyone — from villagers in the highlands to international tourists at resorts — stays connected, informed, and engaged.

Broadcasting is evolving. EMN is here to make sure Sabah evolves with it.

Stretchable LED display with 145 lights reveals ‘kiri-origami’ innovation

Researchers at Waseda University, in Japan, have developed a novel method that combines folding (origami) and cutting (kirigami) techniques to enable high-performance, stretchable electronics using rigid materials

Published: September 4, 2025

Researchers at Waseda University, Japan, have created a novel kiri-origami structure that combines folding and cutting techniques to produce high-performance stretchable electronics using traditionally rigid materials. The approach was demonstrated using a stretchable display with over 500 hinges and 145 LEDs, which maintained performance even after repeated deformation.

A kiri-origami structure is a hybrid design that combines two traditional Japanese techniques – origami (folding) and kirigami (cutting) – to create flexible, stretchable, and reconfigurable materials, or devices.

Led by Professor Eiji Iwase and researcher Nagi Nakamura, the team designed a hybrid origami-kirigami pattern with orthogonal cuts and triangular folding joints. This structure allows rigid electronic components to be mounted on panels that rise and rotate when stretched, enabling both structural flexibility and electronic integrity.

The technique overcomes the longstanding trade-off between electronic performance and flexibility, enabling new applications in wearables, curved displays, and soft robotics.

To address deformation issues in real-world materials, the researchers introduced elastic buffer structures that ensure uniform tension and controlled stretching.

Iwase said: “Our method bridges the gap between flexibility and function. It allows complex, large-area stretchable electronics without compromising performance.”

The findings were published in npj Flexible Electronics (June 2025), and the technique is expected to accelerate development in next-gen electronics, healthcare devices, and assistive robotics.
