Swansea Bay media folk celebrate awards

Broadcasters at Swansea Bay radio station Afan FM are celebrating some awards success.
The High Sheriff of Swansea has commended several presenters for their volunteer work.
Sam Vaughan, right above, of the After Hours evening show and the young members of Teen Voice, below, were honoured for their dedication to volunteering.
Sam said: “It’s an honour to be recognised for my work at Afan FM and I thank Afan FM for supporting me.”
Station manager Hannah Lewis said: “I thank all the volunteers at Afan. Everyone gives their time to make sure Neath Port Talbot has a voice.
"I thank the High Sheriff for saluting Sam and our Teen Voice group for their hard work over the past year and a half. I congratulate all the other winners of this worthy award.”

A big Swansea Bay welcome back to Afan FM

Tune in to Afan FM today (Monday) ... at 11am they plan to be fully back onto the Swansea Bay airwaves. Hear them at http://www.afanfm.co.uk/.
It'll be a welcome return for a valuable community broadcaster ousted from its Afan Lido home by the complex's December fire.
I'm thrilled to report that their future is tremendously bright. A business good-guy has offered them an awesome new studio suite and it offers them a magnificent opportunity to thrive.
They should be the ones to tell you about the premises so I'll keep schtum on the matter now ... but what I must say is that Afan FM's dedicated team provide a warm welcome there.
Hannah Lewis and Hash Piperdy, the station's manager and deputy manager, gave me a guided tour a few days ago.
The move from the Lido has meant a huge amount of work but they and their people have risen to the challenge. Their energy should do nothing but good for the Swansea area's media circuit.
Since the blaze, the station has run in a limited, keep-the-pot-boiling way - but now they're ready to come out fighting once more.
They've been running an informal Facebook poll on what should be the first song at 11am today - I can't wait to hear what it is. Swansea Bay, listen out!
