Swansea Bay media's Haiti help continues
The fine folk at Radio Tircoed (http://www.radiotircoed.com/) welcomed me into their midst yesterday - and an educational visit it was too (for me, not them).
Station manager Phil England was at the controls of his morning show, accompanied by sidekick-for-the-day Caroline Carpenter.
As well as providing the usual mix of chat, travel info, weather and news, they were getting heartily stuck into promoting day one of the UK-wide local radio Hope for Haiti auction. Swansea Sound and The Wave are also involved.
As the day progressed it turned into a fine effort. Tickets to see song-and-dance quartet JLS went for £650, for instance.
Today's lots include items from the likes of Harry Connick Jr, La Roux and Avril Lavigne. Tomorrow's items include goods from Will Young, Nelly Furtado, Nickelback and many more.
Tircoed's national link is sitting comfortably with the station's community ethos. The walls of their studio are lined with business cards and publicity for local entertainers and business people who have found popularity on their respective Swansea Bay circuits.
They include Andrew Harley and his Kings of Cool Show (http://bit.ly/aNpwxm), and Loughor-based violin restorer John Carpenter (http://www.johncarpenterviolins.co.uk/).
Today's top news story was about a Welsh assembly vote next week enabling AMs to trigger the process for a referendum on further powers.
And all this week The Morning Show is playing two Carpenters double-plays, marking the February 4 anniversary of Karen Carpenter's 1983 death.
On FM, incidentally, you can tune in to Tircoed on 106.5.

Steve joins Springsteen for Swansea Bay effort
A visit to the Gowerton HQ of Swansea Sound and The Wave today caught programme controller Steve Barnes in pensive mood.
This habitually upbeat radio guy was editing some new promo inserts for the Swansea Bay airwaves over the next few days.
He cranked up the volume for my benefit and it was evident immediately that his stations had signed up to Hope for Haiti. Good on 'em.
Community station Radio Tircoed are also backing this nationwide online auction - as are many other stations across the UK.
Those to have donated lots include entertainment big guns Aardman (Wallace and Gromit) and Roadrunner Records (Juliette Lewis, Kiss), international attractions Alton Towers and The London Eye, and trading place http://www.itsmymarket.com/.
Stars to have given include Newton Faulkner, Will Young, Bruce Springsteen, Mika, Rod Stewart, the Manic Street Preachers, the Scissor Sisters and Britney Spears.
Wherever you are, listen out for the short but telling messages urging you to donate.
I know you will.
Bidding starts 7.05am, Tue 2 Feb
