Sri Aman FM, Sibu FM, Bintulu FM, Miri FM and Limbang FM relay Wai FM Iban from Kuching on most of broadcast hours, except 9am to 12pm slot, however Wai FM Iban broadcast hours on Miri FM and Limbang FM are lesser than Bintulu FM, Sibu FM and Sri Aman FM because both have local languages broadcast.
Miri FM has Kayan language broadcast from 3pm to 5pm, then it broadcasts Kenyah language is from 5pm to 6pm, meanwhile Limbang FM airs in Lun Bawang language from 12pm to 3pm, then Bisaya language is from 3pm to 6pm.
Miri FM relays Wai FM Iban from 12am to 9am, then 12pm to 3pm and 6pm to 12am. In Miri, Iban is the majority ethnic among all, but the Iban listeners are not able to tune Wai FM Iban's Rentak Ngalih Hari (3pm-6pm segment) on Miri FM's frequencies because Miri FM airs Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah from 3pm to 6pm.
Alongside online streaming, Wai FM Iban's Rentak Ngalih Hari can be tuned alternatively in part of Miri via Bintulu FM on the frequency 97.5MHz which transmitted from Bukit Setiam.
DXing is not only a hobby of tuning distant radio station, but it is alternative radio listening while certain radio broadcasts are not available, despite weak signal.
Wai FM Iban radio listeners can try tuning Rentak Ngalih Hari via Bintulu FM 97.5MHz from Bukit Setiam in Miri Division by following locations below:
1. Bekenu (158km)
2. Niah (130km)
Note that Bintulu FM 97.5MHz from Bukit Setiam may be not receivable in Miri areas near Brunei such as Lutong and Kuala Baram, the listeners in Lutong and Kuala Baram may hear adjacent channel interference noise of RTB Harmoni FM 97.7MHz from Andalau, Brunei when they tune on FM 97.5MHz.
No signal is heard in Miri, even it is very weak in Bekenu.
