Station of the Year
Community Radio Awards – Station of the year Introduction: Bro Radio is the local community radio station for the Vale of Glamorgan, the southern most county in Wales. At the heart of its area is one of the largest Towns in Wales, Barry, best known for its coastal resort – the home of Gavin and Stacey, with a bustling high street featured in a list of the top in the country. The south of the county features some of the best beaches in Europe to the west of Barry, with a Victorian Seaside town to the east. The seaside towns and villages are surrounded by large areas of fields, farming land and industrial units, surrounding a former military base which is now home to Aston Martin – all of which makes for a diverse population that the station serves. Bro Radio’s service is delivered by a team of 60 local volunteers, all of whom live, work and love the County we serve. The station delivers local radio service, focusing on all of the community – being largely music led, with local interviews, content and news featuring throughout. Its daytime music policies help it target a core demographic of 25 – 54 years olds, with specialist programming during evenings and weekends catering to Welsh language speakers, sports fans and those who love music from Rock, Reggae, RnB, Classical, Musicals, Country and everything in between. Bro Radio has served our community since 2009 and despite the pandemic, the last twelve months have been our biggest yet. The station has increased coverage, increased its local news content and through lockdown delivered some of its most exciting, engaging and informative content yet. -
National Assembly for Wales Communities
Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee CELG(4)-10-14 Paper 3 National Assembly for Wales Communities, Equality & Local Government Committee Written Evidence March 2014 1 Section 1 1 Introduction 2 Ofcom welcomes this opportunity to submit evidence to the National Assembly for Wales‟ Communities, Equality & Local Government Committee on our activities and regulatory duties. Ofcom is the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, with responsibilities across broadcasting, telecommunications, postal services and the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. Ofcom operates under a number of Acts of Parliament and other legislation. These include the Communications Act 2003, the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006, the Broadcasting Acts 1990 and 1996, the Digital Economy Act 2010 and the Postal Services Act 2011. The Communications Act states that Ofcom‟s general duties should be to further the interests of citizens and of consumers. Meeting these two duties is at the heart of everything we do. As a converged regulator, Ofcom publishes high quality data and evidence about the broadcasting and communications sectors in Wales, through, among others, its annual Communications Market Report, UK Infrastructure Report1 and Public Service Broadcasting Annual Report. The data in much of this submission is based on the latest iterations of these reports, published in 2013. Data for the 2014 reports is currently being collated. The Communications Sector In recent years, consumers in Wales have benefited from significant changes in the way communications services are delivered. As a result, consumer expectations have changed considerably. In the past decade since Ofcom was established, the UK‟s communications market has experienced rapid change: In 2004, most connections to the internet were through a dial up connection and broadband was in its infancy with a maximum speed of 1 or 2 megabits per second. -

The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations. -

A Short Report Into Community Radio in Wales
National Assembly for Wales Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee A short report into community radio in Wales November 2019 Recommendations Recommendation 1. The Welsh Government should fund a community radio body for Wales. The body would offer practical support to stations, perform a representative role and co-ordinate cross station co-operation and knowledge sharing. Practical support might include performing common tasks for stations like HR, marketing or grant writing. The body should also help forge links between community stations and other interested bodies like commercial and BBC radio. Recommendation 2. The Welsh Government should place more government advertising, particularly public information campaigns, with Community Radio stations and provide guidance to other public sector bodies in Wales to draw their attention to the possibilities of using the sector more. Recommendation 3. The BBC should actively engage with community radio to give access to the output and promote the use of their Local Democracy Reporting Service. Recommendation 4. The BBC and commercial radio should work with community radio to develop a pathway for community radio volunteers to gain experience at their radio stations as a means of developing talent across Wales. www.assembly.wales A short report into community radio in Wales Recommendation 5. The BBC should offer community radio stations preferential rates and first refusal when selling off radio equipment they no longer use. Recommendation 6. Radio Joint Audience Research (RAJAR) should develop a less complex and cheaper audience survey that community radio could use. Stations that chose to use this new service should then be able to access the advertisers that place adverts using RAJAR ratings. -

Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / The Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Radio yng Nghymru / Radio in Wales CWLC(5) RADIO01 Ymateb gan Pwyllgor Cynghori Cymru, Ofcom / Evidence from Ofcom Advisory Committee for Wales The possible impact of the deregulation of commercial radio on audiences in Wales In May 2017, the Advisory Committee submitted a response to the consultation by the UK Government Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DDCMS) on proposals to deregulate commercial radio within the UK. We supported the broad thrust of the proposed relaxation of current regulatory provision, including the removal of existing music format requirements and Ofcom’s role in ensuring a range of choice in radio services. It is worth explaining why. It is an understandable reaction to suggest that relaxing these requirements will lead to the homogenisation of the radio provision for listeners in Wales. The music will all sound the same and it will be increasingly difficult to tell the stations apart. Surely local commercial stations were meant to be local and reflect the communities they serve instead of becoming (in some cases) just links in a chain of commercial stations across the UK? Commercial radio, however, faces a number of challenges in the coming decade. It already faces competition from the internet, where equivalent stations undergo no regulation of any kind. The potential switchover to digital, whenever it may come, also poses a similar problem. Existing legislation does not provide for any regulatory requirements on digital commercial stations in terms of programme formats or the provision of news. -

The number of community stations has increased over the past three years, with a total of 228 licence awards since the start of community radio licensing in March 2005. In March 2010, Point FM, serving Rhyl in North Wales, became the latest community radio station to launch, bringing the total number of community stations on the air in Wales to nine, (Figure 3.1). In May, its neighbouring station, Tudno FM in Llandudno, opened a newly refurbished studio at its existing site in the town. In the same month, six community radio stations in Wales received grants totalling £100,000 from the Welsh Assembly Government’s Community Radio Fund. This year’s recipients were: BRFM, Tudno FM, Afan FM, Bro Radio, GTFM and Calon FM. BRFM at the National Eisteddfod, Ebbw Vale. BRFM is a community radio station licensed by Ofcom, based at Brynmawr, near Ebbw Vale at the head of the South Wales valleys. A key feature of the station is coverage of local music, and BRFM also produces video content which is available on YouTube. This year the National Eisteddfod of Wales was held in Ebbw Vale and BRFM obtained a restricted service licence (RSL) from Ofcom to run EVFm which was broadcast from the Eisteddfod field during the week of the festival (31 July to 8 August). -
