As a fellow radio enthusiast living in Miri, I've just found out late last year that Red FM, Miri FM, Wai FM and Bidayuh FM were no longer relaying Sarawak FM broadcast from 12 a.m to 6 p.m as a mean to fill the 6 hours gap that Red FM have left unfilled with it's own music/programs. It felt a bit weird, initially, for not listening to the Swak FM's 6 hours relay that mostly filled with Malay songs, English songs, and with mix of various international pop songs (except Chinese songs), followed by religious songs and Subuh prayer. Though I did listen to the Swak FM relay, the religious segments are the one I always avoid (since it has nothing to do with me) , especially from 4 until Red FM returns on 6 a.m.
ReplyDeleteTo me, at least there is no duplication, I have more choice of listening to a radio at early morning when I'm having journey from Sibu to Sri Aman at 3.30am.
