History
Following the success of Radio Pembrokeshire in 2002, Radio Carmarthenshire was formed in mid-2003. Initially there were two applicants for the Carmarthenshire licence. The second applicant Carmarthenshire Sound were forced to withdraw half way through the licence approval period because the applicant's parent company owned neighbouring radio stations Swansea Sound and The Wave. This meant that Keri Jones's Radio Carmarthenshire bid won the licence unopposed. Britain's media and communications regulator, Ofcom, has sinced relaxed the rules of ownership and Radio Carmarthenshire's current parent company happens to own numerous neighbouring radio stations.
