RTM can expand Wai FM Iban coverage to Miri by setting up new frequency in Miri to allow more airtime of Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah on Miri FM.

Previously I expressed my suggestion regarding the broadcast hours of Talidio Kenyah and Radio Kayan on FM radio platform.

In Kuching and Serian, Wai FM Iban broadcasters 24 hours everyday since 2023. Outside Kuching and Serian, Wai FM Iban broadcast hours are not 24 hours due to local broadcast.

Miri FM is currently struggling with its broadcast airtime as Iban, Kayan, Kenyah and Malay broadcasts share together, formerly Miri FM had Chinese broadcast before integrating to Red FM. Now Talidio Kenyah and Radio Kayan are struggling to expand their broadcast hours on Miri FM.

In my opinion, since Wai FM Iban is now a 24 hours Iban radio station in Kuching and Serian, Wai FM Iban can move out from Miri FM by setting up new frequencies in Miri Division such as RTM Miri, Bukit Lambir and Bukit TT844 Suai. So, Miri becomes 3rd region to have 24 hours broadcast of Wai FM Iban with new frequency.

Iban listeners in Miri Division can listen to Wai FM Iban 24/7.

If RTM sets up new frequencies in Miri Division for Wai FM Iban, this can allow Talidio Kenyah and Radio Kayan to expand their broadcasting hours on Miri FM, but Miri FM broadcast languages will remain 3 languages such as Malay, Kayan and Kenyah only as Iban broadcast moves out to new frequency.

My suggestion of Miri FM broadcast hours after Wai FM Iban has new Miri frequencies.

0600-0900: Talidio Kenyah

0900-1200: Miri FM Malay broadcast 

1200-1800: Radio Kayan

1800-2100: Talidio Kenyah

2100-0000: Malay local program 

0000-0600: Relay Sarawak FM or Wai FM Iban

In Miri, RTM will have 8 radio stations if this suggestion happens.

* Radio Klasik

* Nasional FM

* Sarawak FM

* Traxx FM

* Ai FM

* Red FM

* Miri FM (Kayan, Kenyah & Malay)

* Wai FM Iban
