When I was in Somerset last year and could only pick up the Welsh version, it was a bizarre listen, especially some of the music that was played (Welsh folk music mixed in with the usual Bowie and Abba). Even more so with all the stings and jingles still being in English.
If you think GHR South Wales is bad for tick box Welsh songs, check out Capital Cymru in Anglesey & Gwynedd. Unlike other Capital stations, it has no networking except for the Big Top 40 with Welsh language presenters and Welsh music mixed in with Top 40 songs.
