About The Wave
Listen to the internet radio of The Wave live, which started in 1995 as Swansea Bay’s local radio station. The radio is in the ownership of Bauer Radio Ltd., part of the Planet Radio Group.
The playlist of The Wave radio brings a more diversified palette of music than the most common pop-orientated radios, because besides the pop, also fills its musical repertoire with rock, urban, and dance genres. The songs are chosen mainly from the current waves, but sometimes older songs widen the wave-palette's timeline.
As a local station, The Wave ensures continuously the locally relevant news, travel-traffic, and weather information supply for the people of Swansea Bay and South West Wales.
The broadcaster is the home of "The Wave Breakfast with Leigh and Claire" breakfast show, from 6am to 10am on weekdays, where Claire Scott and Leigh Jones turn Swansea Bay’s foggy mornings into a joyful-chatful-tuneful happiness. The Saturday mornings are under the supervision of Fleur East who sets the dynamics of the weekend from 9am to 12pm. On Sundays, from 4pm to 7pm, "The UK Chart Show" is broadcasted, led by Sarah-Jane Crawford who counts down the hottest 30 songs.
