Tributes have been paid to founding member and chairman of Anglesey and Gwynedd’s MônFM, Tony Wyn Jones who has passed away.
Tony played a key role at the station, first as deputy chairman, then as chairman from 2016.
A statement from the MônFM Steering Group & Volunteers on the station’s Facebook page said: “It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved chairman, Tony Wyn Jones.
“As a founding member of MônFM, Tony was one of our most dedicated and longest-serving volunteers. He served as deputy chairman for several years before becoming chairman in 2016.
“During his tenure, he played a key role in expanding our FM coverage area, developing new show ideas, and securing commercial sponsorships and grants that have been vital in keeping the station on the air.
“Tony’s commitment to MônFM was unwavering. Whether it was attending local events, presenting radio shows, or visiting transmitter sites in the middle of the night, he was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we stayed on air.
“He was more than just our chairman; he was a friend, a mentor, and a leader. His loss will be deeply felt by all of us.
“The entire MônFM team extends our heartfelt condolences to Tony’s family and friends during this difficult time.”
