Nation Radio Wales gets green light to reduce FM coverage in Ceredigion

07.07.2025 - United Kingdom United Kingdom

Ofcom has approved a request from Radio Ceredigion Limited to switch off two of its FM transmitters in west Wales. This means Nation Radio Wales will stop broadcasting on 97.4 FM (Lampeter) and 96.6 FM (Cardigan), continuing only on 103.3 FM from Blaenplwyf. The licensee explained that FM listening in the area has been falling, while digital platforms including DAB, online streaming and the Nation Player app have grown. Nation Radio Wales is available on four DAB multiplexes across Wales and online via nationplayer.com. Radio Ceredigion Limited also said the cost of maintaining three FM sites in sparsely populated areas had become unsustainable. Transmission costs have risen, local advertising revenue has declined, and ageing equipment would need replacement.
