Now that Real radio has started broadcasting on FM in the north it shows up Radio Wales in a very poor light. Outside the Gwynedd Coast and Wrexham it has no FM coverage in the north. It relies on AM which works well enough but is going out of fashion.
The lack of FM coverage of north and mid Wales of Radio Wales is a disgrace. The overpaid management types at Radio Wales are asleep on the job.Like at S4C they should be sacked and got rid of. Vision? They have no vision.

The problem is that Radio Cymru got all the old FM frequencies when Radio 4 Wales evolved in to BBC Radio Wales which got 882Khz from Washford and Penmon and 657 from the Bersham transmitter.We are talking late 1970's .
On top of that there has never been a commitment from the station to truly serve the whole of the country north of Merthyr.
I doubt that the content from Cardiff would ever entice enough listeners to make it worthwhile. BBC Radio Scotland
managed to use both Glasgow and Edinburgh but a similar model was not used in Wales.
