Bro Radio - Vale of Glamorgan

Bro Radio is a community radio service covering the Vale of Glamorgan. It promotes a feeling of social identity and community pride amongst the urban, rural and coastal communities which exist within the County it serves.

Its on-air programming reflects the life of the residents it serves, with a mixture of locally relevant news, information and music during the day, with specialist music and information programming, covering sport, key communities, Welsh Language and specialist music genres during the evening and weekends.

At the core of its off-air work is the station's Academy, which encompasses training sessions and programmes held for adults, multiple youth clubs that are run in partnership with local partners and an ever-growing ambition to get out in the community which it serves via its Outside Broadcast Vehicle.

  • Re-launched its Community Awards, celebrating the people who make the Vale a great place to live
  • Attended over 45 local events, engaging with 1,000's of local people
