Nation flies different flag

Town and Country Broadcasting has placed a request with media regulator Ofcom for a Format change for its Nation Radio station is South Wales, the frequency used to be home to Xfm.

The station is currently an alternative rock station for South Wales concentrating on modern and classic rock with weekly sessions for local artists.

Town and Country have requested that it become a new music station playing mainly modern rock with "other genres of appeal" to 15-34 year-olds, and which would "include coverage of local artists."

The media regulator is to carry out a public consultation to decide the matter.
