97.1 Radio Carmarthenshire

Radio Carmarthenshire is a Independent Local Radio station serving Carmarthenshire. It is owned and operated by Nation Broadcasting and broadcasts on 97. 1 and 97. 5 FM from studios near the St Hilary transmitter in the Vale of Glamorgan. The station plays chart music from the 1980s to the present day, alongside local news, travel, Welsh language programming and community information. HistoryFollowing the successful launch of Radio Pembrokeshire in 2002, the owners, led by Keri Jones, founded Radio Carmarthenshire in mid-2003 in order to bid for the Carmarthenshire licence. Another applicant, Carmarthenshire Sound (led by The Wireless Group - owners of Swansea Sound and The Wave) withdrew from the bidding process, leaving Radio Carmarthenshire unopposed. The station began broadcasting on Sunday 13 June 2004 from Radio Pembrokeshire's Narberth studios. Four months after launch, the station was given a yellow card warning by the broadcasting regulator OFCOM, following complaints about the levels of Welsh language programming. As of March 2016, Radio Carmarthenshire airs a two-hour Welsh language music show on Monday - Thursday evenings, simulcast with Radio Ceredigion. In August 2006, the station was sold to Town & Country Broadcasting (now Nation Broadcasting).
