Hope for Haiti from Swansea Bay

Phil England, of community favourite Radio Tircoed, tells me the station will be part of a three-day auction for Haiti from February 2.
As far as I can ascertain, this broadcasting minnow is the only Swansea Bay programmer so far to get involved with Hope for Haiti.
Lots are committed from Simon Cowell, Coronation Street and music giants Sony, Polydor, Mercury and Island.
Radio Tircoed will join a number of other local radio stations across the UK for the online push. All will point listeners to a central auction page.
Station manager Phil says: "100% of the money raised will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee. We're really pleased to be taking part and know our listeners will respond positively to a great cause."
William Rogers, one of the auction's main movers, said: "This is about local radio stations coming together to deliver a locally focused appeal that will raise much needed funds for Haiti and give listeners the chance to bid on prizes that money can’t usually buy.
“We're delighted we've got support from stations such as Radio Tircoed."
Media Master says: Join in! www.radiotircoed.com ... or 106.5FM if you're somewhere between Loughor and Ynysforgan.
