Radio stations in north Wales

North Wales has coastal communities, inland towns and a close relationship with the English border. An edition identified with the region may combine shared network programming with presentation or information intended for people there. Its connection should reflect a real audience or separately identified programme, not the assumption that every station audible in north Wales is a local service. Some programmes cover nearby parts of England as well as Wales. That wider reach need not erase the Welsh side of a genuine cross-border edition, but it should be described honestly. Music choice and spoken content vary independently of location: a regional name tells listeners whom a service addresses, while its format says what it plays or discusses. More precise town and city terms have value where a programme actually serves that particular place.
