Neath-based Nation Radio celebrated St David’s Day by expanding its coverage through digital radio. The regional station, which plays new music and classic tracks, has invested in the platform after requests from listeners.
Fans had been telling bosses at Town and Country Broadcasting that they wanted to listen in areas where its FM transmission is low or non-existent.
Nation is available on 107.3FM in Swansea and southwest Wales.
Station programmer Ben Evans said: "The investment means we can now be heard on the DAB digital radio platform in Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire, Bridgend, Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Newport, Monmouth, Abergavenny, Aberdare, Ebbw Vale, Bristol and Bath.
"Nation is already on a fast track to success having grown its audience by three times in 12 months - making us one of the UK's fastest growing radio stations. We're Wales’ most popular station on Facebook, with 6,000 fans."
