One of Swansea Bay's big news stories of recent weeks was the Aquadome fire in Port Talbot.
The Afan Lido, as it's still often known, was more important to its community than many realise.
The Aquadome was home to Afan FM, a hard-working community radio station.
Afan FM usually broadcasts more than 40 weekly hours of specialist programming. Its key audience across the Neath Port Talbot county borough is aged 11-25.
Sadly, the blaze saw it fall silent. Now a re-launch is being arranged for February 1 and it's a chance for local business to rally round, flash the cash and help give the station a welcome boost.
If such generous enterprises happen to count young people amongst their market then there may even be a little commercial spin-off. Ad rates and programme sponsorship deals are incredibly inexpensive.
You can keep up to date through me or through the Afan FM website and Facebook pages - http://www.afanfm.co.uk/ & http://bit.ly/buOURM.
What's more, you can even submit ideas for what should be the first song they play when back on air.
Swansea Bay Media Master wishes everyone involved a smooth countdown to the big day.
