Radio Stations in Barry
Barry has a small transmitter of its own in the town, with the main Wenvoe mast just 6 km to the north. That gives it a stronger signal than Cardiff for BRO Radio, the community station for the Vale of Glamorgan on 98.1 FM, and for Greatest Hits Radio's Bristol & South West service from across the Bristol Channel.
BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru are the BBC stations, and BBC Radio Somerset also reaches the coast. Five DAB multiplexes cover the town, including the Cardiff small-scale multiplex.
