Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd

Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd is a Welsh and English hospital radio service based in Bangor. Its origins go back to Easter 1976, when broadcasting began at the city's old Caernarfon and Anglesey Hospital. Staff features, ward interviews and record requests appeared in that first programme, establishing a personal relationship with the hospital community.

The present schedule combines wellbeing features and request shows with a broad musical range. Country, soul, rock and roll and traditional choral music have a place alongside songs from Wales. Programmes introducing new Welsh and local music give current creative activity space within a service that also values familiar records and listeners' own choices.

Sarah Wynn's Miwsig Sarah Wynn combines new Welsh and local recordings with requests, earlier number-one hits and a weekly choice from her mother. Beca Rhys Evans presents Caneuon Cymru, Annis Milner contributes traditional choral music and Derec Owen hosts Yr Awr Aur. Richard and Judy share a request programme, while Iona and Andy focus on country. These distinct voices give the bilingual timetable a personal character, allowing emerging music and established traditions to be heard together.

Bilingual presentation reflects the area served by Ysbyty Gwynedd and the people using its healthcare facilities. Contributors bring contrasting interests, from conversations and light entertainment to specialist musical selections. The station's long Bangor history and continuing attention to Welsh music give its hospital programmes a clear connection with the culture and language of north Wales.
