in defence of ordinary people, Radio Beca will also be changing things for the benefit of the Welsh people – and everyone, from whatever their background, who wants to be part of the Welsh culture. During the summer Radio Beca will


start to broadcast to every corner of Carmarthenshire,

Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. The station will be broadcast through the medium of Welsh, and will use everyday Welsh. This will be because it won’t be a select few professional people who will be broadcasting, but anybody who wants to contribute to creating a prosperous future for the Welsh communities and everyone who lives in them.
