The extended hours launched today with a fair bit of publicity - by and large, they’re persisting with the 50-50 music policy.

There are supposed to be some special ‘curated’ hours with guest presenters but tonight’s Drivetime opt was a straight non-stop jukebox format - one would feel that Global, with its Capital Cymru service, would have at least some cause for complaint (the BBC itself conceded the service may impact it in some way)

They’re also preparing a bilingually-presented series to introduce listeners to Welsh music - which is probably a first in Radio Cymru’s history.
