Radio BGfm Wales

BGfm is a community station for Blaenau Gwent, broadcasting from Banna Park in Nantyglo. Local contributors make a programme that combines familiar records, specialist musical interests and coverage of events in the area. Its community role includes live outside broadcasts and interviews about services affecting residents.

Helen presents breakfast and a separate Trip to the Eighties, while Arwen hosts Elevenses. Soupy contributes a Motown hour and Pick of the Pops, which revisits two archive years through their top-five records and associated trivia. Graham presents Early Drivetime, giving the weekday programme a sequence of named voices and features rather than an uninterrupted music selection.

Daryl's Smooth Jazz adds a distinct specialist strand, while Mike Williams offers a more eclectic mix. Sunday listening includes Kevster's breakfast programme, Daryl's request show and Sunday Tunes with Graham. Country music has its own appointments through Jim's Country Mix Up and Johney Morrison's Country Show. Morrison also presents gospel, and Reverend Roy Watson contributes a Sunday service.

The station's interviews connect the music with questions raised in the community. One conversation brought Inspector Laura Paget and Sergeant Jordan Meale of the Community Action Team together to discuss local concerns and the police response. BGfm's programme therefore moves between entertainment, faith, listener requests and practical discussion. Its Nantyglo base and involvement in local events keep those different strands connected with the people and organisations of Blaenau Gwent.
