Radio in has started. Can get 10 National but not BBC Radio Cymru or BBC Radio Wales at present. Don't know whether they are transmitting from the old VHF Radio Station or moved to the TV Transmitter. Although as with the TV it will only be a lite service, no commercial stations.

This has always been a problem were you have areas of small population; this usual comes hand in hand with geographical difficulties such as mountain and the like which dictate many extra small transmitters. The commercial operator just don't support or want these so we are left with such as lite and also National with the ability of receiving Asian Radio (representing a very small percentage of local population) but not our local BBC Radio Wales because they use commercial transponders. Despite a reduced service this still cost more than other areas. I suppose the question is do we deny modern broadcasting services to areas just because there are not in the populist. I think with local news etc., the internet is starting to come into it's own and able to cater for local news and event far better than the BBC local news service. We now have several FYI channels which provide very local news fairly instantly.
