Radio Ceredigion ({{IPA-cy|ˈradjɔ kɛrɛˈdɪɡjɔn}}) is an Independent Local Radio station serving Ceredigion in Mid Wales. It is owned and operated by Nation Broadcasting and broadcasts on 96.6, 97.4 and 103.3 FM from studios near the St Hilary transmitter in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The station plays chart music from the 1980s to the present day, alongside local news, travel, Welsh language programming and community information.

History

From its launch on Monday 14 December 1992, the station broadcast a bilingual schedule with roughly half-and-half proportion of English and Welsh output, much of it community-orientated, from studios and offices at the Old School in Aberystwyth.

On 9 March 2010, Radio Ceredigion's owners Tindle Newspapers announced the station would be sold off to the Welsh radio group Town and Country Broadcasting.[1] At 9{{nbsp}}am on 19 April 2010, broadcasting ceased from its Aberystwyth studios and switched to Town and Country's West Wales studios in Narberth, Pembrokeshire (also the base for Radio Pembrokeshire, Radio Carmarthenshire).[2] Following a short transition period, a daytime programming service was launched.[3]

A proposal to reduce Welsh language programming on the station from 50% to 10% was rejected by the broadcasting regulator OFCOM in 2011[4][5] but subsequently permitted following further requests. As of March 2016, Radio Ceredigion airs an hour Welsh language music show on Sunday night.[6]

In September 2016, Nation Broadcasting announced plans to relocate Radio Ceredigion and its two sister services from the Narberth studios to the group's headquarters near the St Hilary transmitter on the outskirts of Cowbridge.[7] The station switched broadcasting to the St Hilary studios at 10{{nbsp}}am on Tuesday 22 November 2016, although the Narberth site is retained as digital media and sales office.

Coverage

Radio Ceredigion has a TSA of 74,000 people, and can be heard from Bangor through to Cross Hands, including parts of Powys, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. The main transmitter is located at Blaenplwyf transmitting station near Aberystwyth on 103.3FM, with relay stations at Mynydd Pencarreg transmitting station near Lampeter on 96.6FM and Penwaun near Cardigan on 97.4FM.

In December 2018 Ofcom awarded the readvertised license to Nation broadcasting but to use the frequency of the former Radio Ceredigion as a relay and extension to cover Cardigan bay of Nation radio. Nation is already heard in the Cardigan Bay Area on The Mid and West Wales Dab Multiplex.

Programming

The majority of Radio Ceredigion's output is produced and broadcast from Nation Broadcasting's St Hilary studios. Most programming and presenters is shared with sister stations Radio Carmarthenshire, Radio Pembrokeshire, Bridge FM and Swansea Bay Radio.[8]

Presenter-led shows air from 6{{nbsp}}am to 10{{nbsp}}pm on Monday{{ndash}}Thursday, 6{{nbsp}}am to 7{{nbsp}}pm on Fridays, 6{{nbsp}}am to 6{{nbsp}}pm on Saturdays and 6{{nbsp}}am to 7{{nbsp}}pm on Sundays. The station's weekday presenters are Mark Powell and Laura Harris (breakfast), Tommo (daytime) and Lee Jukes (drivetime).

In December 2018 Ofcom announced it had permitted Nation's request to close Radio Ceredigion and replace it with a straight relay of its regional service, Nation Radio.[9]

News

Local news bulletins air hourly from 6:02{{nbsp}}am to 6:02{{nbsp}}pm on weekdays and 8:02{{nbsp}}am to 12:02{{nbsp}}pm at weekends with headlines on the half-hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime. As of June 2016, the station's news bulletins are provided by independent company Radio NewsHub in Leeds.[10]

Radio Ceredigion also airs national Sky News Radio bulletins 24 hours a day and detailed local weather forecasts on the half-hour.[11]
