BBC Radio Cymru 2
About BBC Radio Cymru 2
BBC Radio Cymru 2 is the BBC's second Welsh-language station, with music and news. It was created as a companion to BBC Radio Cymru, offering a lighter, more music-led service in Welsh with presenters who play contemporary Welsh-language songs, popular international hits, and a variety of genres suitable for a broad audience, as well as news bulletins and cultural updates. The tone is friendly, upbeat and informal.
Radio Cymru 2 is aimed in particular at younger and middle-aged listeners who want to hear the Welsh language in the context of modern music, and it provides an important platform for Welsh-language bands and singers. As a service of the BBC, it is funded mainly by the licence fee and carries no commercial advertising within the United Kingdom. The language is Welsh, with songs in Welsh and English, which makes the stream valuable for learners who want to hear the language spoken naturally, and for Welsh speakers who live away from home. Because of music rights, some programmes may be restricted outside the United Kingdom. The feed does not declare a fixed codec or bitrate in its metadata. It plays in your browser on RadioKite, and you can add it to your favourites.
