 Over the following eighteen years the evolution of the group continued, with the establishment of two hospital radio stations in Bridgend and Neath, the re-launch of broadcasting at Swansea University, and two trial broadcasts in 1997 and 1998, culminating in a successful campaign to persuade the licensing authorities that the Bridgend region and community deserved its own local radio station.Leading this group of committed local radio enthusiasts and professionals was Bill Everatt.The UK Radio Authority (which has now been replaced by OfCom) did not give that group the chance of broadcasting to their home area.
