In real terms, The Wave is down by around 8k listeners (to 85k) in that period quoted by Nation - but isn't it pretty ironic that they're reviving a local brand that
a) will be sharing most of its output with other stations in Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Bridgend
b) has probably had more name and format changes than any other FM station of its ilk - hence its considerably low ratings
Swansea Sound was on the slide as well when it became GHR (down to around 14k listeners before 1170 AM was switched off and its TSA was expanded to cover the whole of South Wales)
