RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan can launch frequencies in Miri Division to separate from Miri FM slot, so Talidio Kenyah and Radio Kayan can have more broadcast hours.

 

Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan is currently available in Kuching on FM 106.1MHz and Serian on FM 101.9MHz, the broadcast hours of Bidayuh language program is from 6am to 12pm, then 6pm to 12am, meanwhile Kayan language is from 12pm to 6pm.

In Miri, Radio Kayan is given 2 hours broadcast on Miri FM frequencies, meanwhile Talidio Kenyah is only 1 hour. However, both have 3 hours broadcast on Facebook LIVE or YouTube LIVE streaming.

Radio Kayan broadcasts from 12pm to 6pm on Wai FM Bidayuh frequency. Talidio Kenyah broadcast hours is from 3pm to 6pm, it has airtime conflict with Radio Kayan as both broadcast from 3pm to 6pm together. So, Talidio Kenyah cannot broadcast on Miri FM frequency from 3pm to 5pm due to Radio Kayan.

Meanwhile Radio Kayan is not available from 12pm to 3pm on Miri FM frequency due to Wai FM Iban.

In my opinion, RTM can launch Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan frequencies in Miri Division, meanwhile Radio Kayan can be removed from Miri FM, then Talidio Kenyah can have longer airtime on Miri FM via radio frequency transmission from 3pm to 6pm, instead of current 5pm to 6pm.

 

This means Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah will be separated by not sharing on Miri FM frequencies. If it happens, Radio Kayan can be tuned by the listeners for 6 hours in Miri, same airtime as Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan in Kuching and Serian, then the Kenyah radio listeners can tune Talidio Kenyah Miri FM for 3 hours via FM radio. Hence, both of them won't clash each other without sacrificing the airtime on the radio.

To launch Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan in Miri Division, same as other RTM radio stations, it should have 3 transmitters such as Bukit Lambir, RTM Miri and Bukit TT844 Niah.

RTM Miri transmitting station sends the studio feed to Bukit Lambir. Without RTM Miri, Bukit Lambir cannot receive any signal feed from RTM Miri FM studio, Bukit TT844 Niah is for Subis district where is a blindspot of Bukit Lambir radio transmitter coverage.

==Proposal of Radio Kayan airtime in Miri==

* Suggestion: Launching independent frequency of Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan in Miri

* Airtime: 12pm to 6pm without clashing with Talidio Kenyah

==Proposal of Talidio Kenyah airtime in Miri==

* Airtime: 3pm to 6pm on FM radio frequency transmission via Miri FM 95.7/98.0/95.1MHz

With such proposal, RTM will have 8 radio stations in Miri Division by following frequencies and transmitter sites below:

==RTM Miri==

* 107.1MHz: Radio Klasik

* 99.3MHz: Nasional FM

* 100.3MHz: Sarawak FM

* 104.5MHz: Traxx FM

* 105.3MHz: Ai FM

* 106.3MHz: Red FM

* 98.0MHz: Miri FM + Wai FM Iban + Talidio Kenyah

* 103.6MHz: Wai FM Bidayuh + Radio Kayan (suggestion)

==Bukit Lambir==

* 91.9MHz: Radio Klasik

* 92.7MHz: Nasional FM

* 88.1MHz: Sarawak FM

* 88.9MHz: Traxx FM

* 89.9MHz: Ai FM

* 90.7MHz: Red FM

* 95.7MHz: Miri FM + Wai FM Iban + Talidio Kenyah

* 107.5MHz: Wai FM Bidayuh + Radio Kayan (suggestion)

==RTM Bukit TT844 Suai==

* 95.1MHz: Miri FM + Wai FM Iban +  Talidio Kenyah

* 97.1MHz: Sarawak FM

* 92.3MHz: Wai FM Bidayuh + Radio Kayan (suggestion)

Suggested frequencies are based on my spectrum band study.

Treat it fairly, Talidio Kenyah can join Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan, but Radio Kayan airtime will be reduced from 6 hours to 3 hours if it happens.
