Swansea Sound is a radio station based in Swansea, Wales. It is available on medium wave, at 1170kHz (257m), in the Swansea area, extending "from Tenby to Porthcawl, and beyond" according to one of their straplines, and somewhat further on DAB. The reach to Tenby, however, is across the sea – the station is typically unavailable in the valley areas around Carmarthen.
The Programming Director is Steve Barnes, and the station is based on Victoria Road near Gorseinon – along with its sister station, The Wave, which plays more modern music, and occupies the FM channel once held by Swansea Sound before The Wave was split off.
Their only transmitter is in Winch-Wen, on the side of Kilvey Hill. This isn't the mast on the top of Kilvey Hill, but towards the Morriston side of it.
