Prior to that, Astro will be screening the blitz on its channels, namely Cable News Network, Discovery, Travel and Living, and Ria, including its radio channel, Light and Easy.
Malaysian radio channel, Traxx FM, will be doing a live telecast of the festival for its listeners, said Gracie Geikie, CEO of the Sarawak Tourism Board.
There will also be media coverage from Bangkok, Australia, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, at the invitation of Tourism Malaysia.
Geikie expects at least 4,000 jazz enthusiasts from this region and overseas to converge for the two-day second musical extravaganza. The first edition was held last year.
Tickets for the festival are priced at RM$50 (per person per day) and RM$90 (per person for two days). Tickets are on sale at the Visitors' Information Centre in Miri, or can be bought online at www.ticketcharge.com.my.
A total of eight international jazz bands from all four corners of the globe have confirmed their attendance at the festival, which will be staged at the Pavilion of Parkcity Everly Hotel here.
Meanwhile, several tour groups from Korea are expected to attend MIJF at night as part of a travel package with golf games during the day, with the inclusion of a trip to the World Heritage site, Mulu Caves.
