Herald Radio to re-launch on May 2
ON THE MORNING of May 2, Herald Radio will be re-launching with new presenters, more music variety and specialist shows.
Toby Ellis, the new Station Manager, has brought together a fantastic group of presenters who will be broadcasting around the clock, seven days a week.
The full line-up of DJs on the station has yet to be announced – so keep your eyes peeled for more information on that over the coming weeks.
Toby said: “I can’t wait to re-launch Herald Radio next month with a fresh new sound and lots of exciting new presenters. We also have some great specialised evening shows with some big names in the local scene coming on-board.
“It’s great to be working on local radio again and I’ve really missed broadcasting across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion.”
It’s easy to tune in to Herald Radio, simply go to www.heraldradio.com on your phone, PC, tablet or smart device and stream it wherever you are.
When the station re-launches, we’ll also have a mobile app live for you to stream the station without the need to open your web browser and go to the website on your phone – it will be just one tap of the finger away at all times.
Initially, the app will be available on iOS for iPhones, but shortly after we will also be releasing an app for use on Android devices as well.
We’ll also be revamping the station’s website prior to May 2 so it will be jam-packed full of information about the shows, presenters and more.

Mother admits to killing seven-year-old son in Haverfordwest
A mother has admitted to the manslaughter of her seven-year-old son at their home in Haverfordwest, citing diminished responsibility.
Papaipit Linse, 43, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Friday (Nov 22), where she denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with the death of her son, Louis Linse. Prosecutor Caroline Rees KC confirmed the manslaughter plea would be accepted, stating it “did not come as a surprise” to the prosecution.
The incident occurred on 10 January when police were called to a property on Upper Market Street. Louis was rushed to Withybush General Hospital but tragically died shortly afterwards.
During the hearing, Linse, who spoke only to confirm her name and enter her pleas, was informed that she would be sentenced on 13 December. Judge Paul Thomas KC described the case as “clearly a very sensitive as well as a very tragic case.”
The court was told that Linse is currently receiving treatment at the Caswell Clinic, a mental health facility in Bridgend. Psychiatric evidence is expected to be presented during the sentencing hearing to provide further insight into the circumstances surrounding the case.
