Major FM boost for 成人论坛 Radio Wales
成人论坛 to extend FM coverage to additional 400,000 people across Wales.
As we approach our fortieth birthday celebrations next month, this exciting development is set to benefit 成人论坛 Radio Wales listeners in many parts of Wales and make it a national service in every sense.
From Wednesday 24 October, 成人论坛 Radio Wales will be available across 91% of Wales, thanks to a major boost to its FM signal. Wales’s national radio station - which currently reaches 79% of households in Wales - will be available to more listeners than ever before on FM.
Listeners in North East and Mid Wales are set to benefit most from the expansion.
The changes will be achieved by using a small number of existing FM frequencies currently allocated to 成人论坛 Radio 3. Radio 3 will continue to be available to 92% of households in Wales on FM as well as its existing availability on DAB radio, television and online.
Areas set to benefit from the boost to Radio Wales on FM include Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells, Ruthin, Brecon and the A55 and A470 road networks. In total, more than 550 miles of road in Wales will be covered for the first time. Work has been ongoing on over 30 transmitters to ensure minimum disruption to radio listeners.
Editor of 成人论坛 Radio Wales, Colin Paterson says: “As we approach our fortieth birthday celebrations next month, this exciting development is set to benefit 成人论坛 Radio Wales listeners in many parts of Wales and make it a national service in every sense. We know that in the past some Radio Wales listeners have been frustrated by FM blackspots. These changes mean if you’re at home or in the car, more listeners than ever can tune in to enjoy the unique mix of entertainment, music and sport Radio Wales has to offer.”
Radio Wales, Wales' national station in English, started life on 13 November 1978. It broadcasts a unique mix of quality news, sport, culture, entertainment and live events to the people of Wales.
