As a Community Interest Company (CIC), radio.wales is built to amplify—not replace—the independent voices of Wales. We provide the national platform and infrastructure needed to turn hyperlocal broadcasting into a powerful, unified network. Our mission is to support smaller groups, filling the gaps in coverage to ensure every community has a voice. We would like to partner with other local radio broadcasters in Wales, our mission is to amplify, not compete or replace. The beauty of network.wales or radio.wales is that it is governed by a CIC. In light of this, radio.wales is only able to partner with other CIC status broadcasters, or informal groups of people - non profit
Update 07/2025Â Due to increasing server costs and demand on resources, radio.wales has temporarily shelved the function / software. Hopefully this will return in the future when servers are upgraded.Â
Despite many reports of the Welsh Government banning tea and coffee for the under 16s, this is not true. It the consultation documents there is a question asking: Should the ban be widened to consider other drinks typically high in caffeine such as tea and coffee?
Overview from Welsh government consultation documents:
The consultation is looking at ending the sale of energy drinks to children. We know
that dietary behaviours in our childhood have a significant influence in what and how
we eat and drink in later life. Energy drinks are legally required to display warnings
that they are not recommended for children due to their high caffeine content. We
wish to consider introducing a mandatory position across Wales.
Research suggests that preventative action may be needed to protect young people
from associated health harms from consumption of energy drinks.
