Today sees the launch of a new local radio station and Swansea RFC wing
Nicky Jones was on hand to help give it a boost. Swansea Local Radio was due
to go on air for month-long trial as it aims to win a permanent radio
licence. The station is based at St Helen's and winger Jones is helping to
promote new station.

Budding broadcasters are also being given the chance to be a part of the
fledgling station.

A spokesman said: "This is an exciting project which is an opportunity for
the Swansea city population to have access to a different kind of radio
station, one that meets the cultural needs of the people of the city of
Swansea."

Mark Williams, who has also worked for BBC and Sky, will present the morning
show.

Swansea University lecturer Binda Singh has been appointed as the station's
project director.
