All for one: Kudsia Kahar (third from right) launches the 13th GCMA with representatives from six other radio stations.
988 plays host to an awards show promoting the development of Chinese music.
THE Star Radio Group’s Chinese radio station 988 is set to host the 13th Global Chinese Music Awards (GCMA) on October 5 at Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
GCMA was established in 2000 with seven of Asia’s radio stations taking turns to host the awards show. The seven radio stations are (from China) Beijing Music Radio, Shanghai Dong Gan 101, and Music FM Radio Guang Dong; (Taiwan) Taipei Pop Radio; (Hong Kong) RTHK; (Singapore) YES 933 as well as (Malaysia) 988.
The main objective of GCMA is to promote the development of Chinese music and acknowledge the outstanding contributors in the music industry.
“Play. Music. Hard. is the theme for the 13th Global Chinese Music Awards. The theme represents our acknowledgement to the artistes’ perseverance, on their will in standing strong against obstacles in pursuit of creating good music. It is not easy working in the music industry,” said deputy group chief broadcasting officer of Star Radio Group Kudsia Kahar.
“Artistes face the lack of financial support, public recognition, the shift to the age of digital commerce, piracy, etc. By hosting this award, we are doing our bit to show our support to the musicians out there.”
Ticket are affordably priced at RM50, RM100, RM150, RM200, RM250 and RM300 and will be available July onwards. There will be discounts for early birds, students, and senior citizens.
