Welcome back Rhys radio

Penrhys based community radio station, Rhys Radio, takes to the air for another month from Monday March 3rd. It follows a successful first broadcast last September. You can find the interview I did last time round here.

Rhys Radio is part of the RCT Community Radio Project (along with Radio CwmNi in Treherbert and Dapper FM in Penywaun) which aims to make Rhondda Cynon Taff the centre of excellence for Community Radio here in Wales. It follows the award of more than £270k funding from the Welsh Assembly Government’s Communities@one programme to fund the project.

Communities @One aims to help people in Communities First areas make the most of new technology. The programme is jointly funded through the European Union’s Objective 1 & 2 programme and the Welsh Assembly Government. Communities @One is administered by the Wales Co-Operative Centre.
