  • Swansea Bay City Deal 1.1 Overview
    Swansea Bay City Deal Communications and Marketing Plan Greg Jones Swansea Bay City Deal Communications and Marketing Officer 1.1 Overview Signed by the Prime Minister in March 2017, the Swansea Bay City Deal is an unprecedented investment of up to £1.3 billion in the Swansea Bay City Region, which is made up of Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea. The City Deal consists of a portfolio of transformational programmes and projects which, subject to business case approvals, will be funded by the UK Government, the Welsh Government, the public sector and the private sector. A 15-year portfolio, the City Deal will transform the City Region into a centre of excellence for a number of sectors, including renewable/low carbon energy, life science and well-being, smart manufacturing and economic acceleration. A regional economic boost of at least £1.8 billion is projected over the lifespan of the portfolio, with the creation of over 9,000 jobs. City Deal projects include the Pentre Awel development in Llanelli; a life science, well-being and sport campuses scheme in Swansea; a city and waterfront digital district in Swansea; a low carbon programme in Neath Port Talbot featuring a specialist facility to support the steel and metals industry; and an off-shore testing area and associated facilities for marine energy technologies in Pembrokeshire. A homes as power stations project is also planned across the region, along with major digital infrastructure improvements and a skills and talent initiative that will give local people a pathway to access the employment opportunities being created.

    “My” Hero or Epic Fail? Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.

  • Committee Clerk Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay, CF99 1NA
    Media 10 Task and Finish Group on the future outlook for the media in Wales Response from Town and Country Broadcasting Media 11 11 November 2011 Committee Clerk Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay, CF99 1NA. Submission from Town and Country Broadcasting Limited to The National Assembly for Wales’ Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee inquiry into the future outlook for the media in Wales. Town and Country Broadcasting (TCB) is Wales’ largest commercial radio group with unrivalled experience and success in operating local radio services in Wales. The 2010 Hargreaves Report on Digital Media to the Assembly Government noted; “Radio is an aspect of creative industries which figures too little in the debate about the economic importance of creative industries in Wales.” We agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment and are therefore pleased to be able to make a contribution to the National Assembly’s inquiry into the future of media in Wales and to highlight areas of interest to Welsh citizens in any future UK Communications legislation. In the past decade, whilst local press has declined and many heritage regional TV and radio brands have disappeared, TCB has launched or acquired seven local radio stations and developed them into popular and profitable operations in a dynamic and successful media business. From its original shareholding in Radio Pembrokeshire, we are proud to have grown and to now serve listeners from West Wales to the capital city. Our local services in Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, Swansea and Bridgend are fiercely local, whilst Cardiff-based regional station Nation Radio has developed a considerable following with its distinctive music mix.

  • An Application for the Ceredigion FM Licence from Radio Ceredigion Ltd
    An application for the Ceredigion FM licence from Radio Ceredigion Ltd July 2018 Nation Radio Contents Page 3 Executive Summary 5 General Information 6 Section 105 (A): Ability to maintain proposed service 15 Section 105 (B) & (C): Catering for tastes and interests/broadening choice. 18 Section 105 (D): Evidence of demand or support 26 Declaration 2 Executive Summary Radio Ceredigion Ltd is pleased to submit this licence re-application. Since Radio Ceredigion launched in 1992, the UK commercial radio market has changed beyond all recognition. Innovations in how listeners consume radio and audio, alongside the opportunities that reduced regulation brings, have all contributed to how local radio is made and listened to. The challenges for local radio broadcasters are significant, particularly in small, rural markets such as Ceredigion where there are real questions over the viability of maintaining localised services. Radio Ceredigion’s parent company, Nation Broadcasting, is the largest commercial radio operator in Wales and currently operates a local service in Ceredigion. The existing service has consistently underperformed in audience delivery and commercially, compared to Nation Broadcasting’s other local services. A combination of extremely high transmission costs relative to the available population, a challenging economic environment, a general increase in competition for audience time from music streaming services, online stations and national DAB services, and a soon to launch community station, have led us to re-appraise how we can best serve listeners in Ceredigion. Our solution is to bring Nation Radio, the Welsh national commercial radio service, to Ceredigion. Nation Radio will provide a distinctive, Welsh-in-Character service that will clearly broaden local listener choice in Ceredigion.
