What is Newport missing compared to other cities?

It’s very own radio service.

Since 2008 we’ve been setting about putting it right! Community Radio helps engender a sense of civic pride in its local area, solidifies its unique identity, celebrates its diversity, and rejoices in all of its successes. Our aim is to be the go-to place for all things positive in Newport, People, Places, Charities and Businesses thriving together under our brand.
We provide our volunteers with safe spaces to be creative and contribute to society whilst also building confidence and skills and building long lasting friendships. We will attract a wide diversity of participants (this has always happened naturally, but we will not be complacent) offering the equality of opportunity for all and adapting the means to volunteer where needs be. This is Newport City Radio.

Newport City Radio CIC is the not-for-profit company and the digital media project for Newport.

On the surface we provide our city with huge anthems every day, fun on social media, hyper local podcasts and with them at the best community events in our city!
Our underlying mission. We aim to…
• give local people the tools to share local content for and about Newport via our website, online radio, social media, and podcasts and events.
• provide safe venues, good quality equipment, and professional mentoring for like-minded people to come together to work on their interests
• give other community projects a means to promote their activities
• provide training with a strong emphasis on transferable skills including ICT, planning, team working and confidence

Newport City Radio broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week online from our City Centre studio to our website, www.newportcityradio.org on mobile via the TuneIn app and on your smartspeaker by saying “Play Newport City Radio”
