Radio stations in Wales

Radio in Wales serves audiences with different local interests, cultural backgrounds and languages. A programme may speak to one city, reach a wider part of the country or address listeners throughout Wales. Some schedules bring regional presentation together with shows shared across a wider network. The meaningful connection comes from the audience and the station's actual edition, rather than the location of a transmitter or a parent company's office. Wales is a geographical category, not a claim about one musical taste. Hit music, softer favourites, discussion and other formats can all belong where a service genuinely addresses Welsh listeners. North and south Wales also have distinct regional identities; a more precise label can give helpful context when it fits. A UK-wide station produced partly in Wales should still be described according to its actual audience and coverage.
