SA Radio Live, formerly Radio Tircoed, was a community radio station serving Tircoed, Penllergaer, Pontardulais, Gorseinon, Pontlliw and surrounding areas in the north west of the City and County of Swansea, Wales. [1]

Contents

The station, which broadcast from studios at the Tircoed Village Hall, was founded in 2005 as a Restricted Service License (RSL) station, transmitting on 106.5FM, 365 days a year.

SA Radio Live was run by its own Management Team who were responsible for the day-to-day operation of the station. All SA Radio Live presenters volunteered their DJing skills to run the station seven days a week.

Programming

Programming output varies throughout the day with various music-led, talk and feature programmes alongside specialist output in the evenings and at weekends, sports coverage and weekly bilingual programmes in Welsh/English. The majority of the station's output is locally produced and presented, although some late-night programming is syndicated.

Rebranding

On 10 June 2024 it was announced that Radio Tircoed would be rebranded and relaunched as Swansea Live Radio on 30 September. [2] However, after complaints from rival broadcasters about the choice of name, on 18 June it was announced the station would rebrand as SA Radio Live. [3]

The station rebrand took place at 7am on 30 September 2024, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the launch of Swansea Sound - with many of the station's launch line-up consisting of former presenters from the commercial station.
