Radio Cardiff goes off air

Community station Radio Cardiff - home of the Jazz Connection - has gone off air due to funding issues.

The multicultural station, which launched in October 2007, ran out of public funding from the Communities First scheme and had yet to re-apply for more cash.

The one hundred beneficiaries and volunteers are sad that the station has gone off air but it's hoped the hiatus will only be temporary.

In the meantime, the FM frequency is offering an automated music loop - for further details read the South Wales Echo and BBC News articles about efforts to save the station.
