As a well Welsh filming company they like to get out about a lot. I remember being able to watch them film once or twice because they came to a company where I was studying some courses in IT, Maths, and English again and I did a small amount of Media work as my extra pleasure of enjoyment whilst I was there. They came more than once too... So that was pretty cool because dispite them filming and recording their shows all in Welsh, since this being the very reason why I wont watch this channel on TV; it was still fascinating to be able to watch them filming and it was certainly something that became much more interesting to do at that centre I was at, I struggle to remember it's name. I was arranged to go there through the Youth Centre company. This filming company are still very active today which is good to see considering those who have to work there have to speak Welsh, a language and languages in general are something that I struggled to learn and still would. I see how it's written down on a page and ignore things like the letters vowel sounds which I was taught to learn how to say reguarly at the Dyslexia Centre. I'm not surrounded by many Welsh speaking people so I feel that makes this filming very specialised and orginal, especially as a local filiming company goes. Nowhere else in the whole wide world will have such a close access to such a wonderful filming company. S4C and the BBC make me long to want to learn Welsh all the more because I would really love to work as part of the Media team with one of these companies or at least get to do work experience with either one of them. I know you can. So keep your eyes peeled you never know they maybe filiming near you... I can't recommend that you can visit and that you should visit this filming company, because as yet I do not know, but I shall try to make some enquiries and see if they do tours around the S4C building or not. It is right next to my Dad's partly owned business, with someone else.

S4C is a Welsh-language television channel broadcasting more than 80 hours of programmes a week,…read moreall specifically aimed at the Welsh language community. Funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, its programmes span a variety of topics including live national events, sport, music, news, drama, entertainment, children's content, culture, rural issues, and lifestyle topics. Most of the programmes broadcast on the channel are created by outside, independent television companies - many of them also based in Cardiff. Sadly, a lot of the content on S4C's website is woefully out of date. They talk about how in 2007 the channel will receive a grant of £94.4m from DCMS - only three or so years behind, then! Flicking onto the channel itself on TV, many of the programmes also seem to be a bit stuck in the past. Apparently, the S4C Authority is currently reviewing all the channel's activities, and as part of this process they are welcoming views from individuals and organisations to help them prepare for the future - so now's the time to ask for change if you think S4C needs it! However, the consultation could well be over now, as this information was gleaned from their website, which means it could well be very, very out of date.

Xpress Radio (87.7 FM) is a student radio station run by students at Cardiff University, from a…read morestudio and editing suite on the fourth floor of the Students' Union building on Park Place. It's been running for 15 years now, and aims to provide student listeners with decent music and up-to-date hourly news plus information on issues that are important to them. During the daytime, there's usually more mainstream content such as chart music, competitions, features and general banter - then after 6pm there's more specialist music, whether it's jazz or new, emerging talent. On Sundays they have some talking radio - with political debates, comedy, and so on - from 10am to 3pm. Then at 3pm there's a student chart countdown compiled by a collaboration of various universities across the country. For journalism students at Cardiff, and particularly those studying broadcasting, the radio station provides an opportunity to gain some practical experience and something to stick on your CV - although volunteering opportunities are open to students of all disciplines, not just the journalists!

This particular station has been around…read morefor a long time now, 15 years in fact, running off a small budget given to them by the student's union. You will find mainstream entertainment shows in the day time and the ever so slightly obscure and bizarre speciality shows in the evening. This station is run by a great team of dedicated and passionate students, I would recommend listening to this station even if you aren't a student, and that you can, every so often it will broadcast on 87.7fm for a few weeks. Failing that, get with the times and listen to your radio online at http://www.xpressradio.co.uk/about.php I would also recommend getting involved with Xpress radio as a student as it will enhance your portfolio and if you are lucky enough, you may even win an award for your work at the yearly student media awards held in the Hilton. Get involved, you won't regret it.

This is great if you're between the ages of 8 and 17, but not quite so great is you mind hearing the same songs playing over and over and over and over... No, to be fair, Red Dragon is not nearly so bad as some other station where they literally play the same 20 songs, at least here there are requests for older songs, so you'll occasionally find yourself listening to a bit of a gem. Train's 'Drops of Jupiter' springs to mind. Who's that tutting in the back? Red Dragon FM are very involved in the local community, looking through the galleries on their website showed a massive amount of local events that they've been a part of. They are also very involved while on air, with local listeners forever honing in for competitions or other random involvement. Anyway, this is the kind of station you might flip on while you do the housework or might have to listen to while in work, but it's not going to speak many words or wisdom or enhance the culture in your life.

If you go down to Cardiff Bay and visit the Atlantic Wharf centre, then you're surely in for an entertaining time, or rather your children perhaps really are... A five star radio show; it has competitions, quizzes, phone in call sessions, guess the song and singer games, they have the local news updates, traffic and weather updates, they go out and about locally, they know their gossip about the arts and entertainment world and often help with charities. They are very sensitive towards their audiences, polite and caring. They also have a website. Which is full of games: news, competitions and of ways in how, if you should so wish to, to get in touch. You can watch them speak in their attractive studio of a station. I recommend for all teenagers, and young adults from ages; 12 - 30 year olds, preferably for those who live in Cardiff or Wales.
