About BBC Radio Cymru
BBC Radio Cymru is the BBC's national Welsh-language radio station. Since 1977 it has broadcast news, music, sport, drama and conversation entirely in Welsh, playing a vital role in supporting the language and celebrating the culture of Wales. On this page you can listen to BBC Radio Cymru live online for free.
The first station wholly in Welsh
BBC Radio Cymru began broadcasting on 3 January 1977, becoming the first broadcasting outlet dedicated wholly to programmes in the Welsh language. Its sister station, BBC Radio Wales, broadcasts in English. Over almost fifty years Radio Cymru has become a central part of Welsh-speaking life, from farming communities in the north and west to Welsh learners in Cardiff and beyond. It is based at BBC Cymru Wales in Cardiff, with teams across the country, and a second service, Radio Cymru 2, offers an alternative breakfast programme and extra music.
What you will hear
Radio Cymru's schedule includes news and current affairs, phone-ins, interviews and features about life in Wales and the wider world, all in Welsh. Music is a big part of the station, with Welsh-language rock, pop, folk and choral music, new Welsh artists and international hits. Sport coverage includes Welsh rugby, football and other sports, while drama, comedy, religious programmes and coverage of the National Eisteddfod and other cultural events reflect the richness of Welsh culture. Many programmes are also a great way for Welsh learners to improve their listening.
