Radio Cardiff, a community radio station which launched in the Welsh capital late last year, has closed down, despite having a five year licence. The station's owners say a delay in funding from both the Welsh Assembly Government and Cardiff County Council led to the closure.
Radio Today observe that Radio Cardiff is the third new community radio station to disappear because of funding issues. London based TGR closed down less than a month ago, while a community service in Chelmsford also ceased broadcasting because of funding issues.
