Â鶹ԼÅÄ

This afternoon I gave a speech at the Celtic Media Festival in Swansea on some of the challenges facing Welsh language broadcasting as a result of both social and linguistic changes. You can read the speech in full .Ìý

In the speech, I announced that Â鶹ԼÅÄ Cymru Wales is inviting radio listeners across Wales to take part in a nationwide ‘conversation’ about Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Cymru as part of the biggest radio research project ever undertaken in Wales.

The conversation - which we’re calling Sgwrs Radio Cymru - will invite listeners to share their views on all aspects of the station.

We’re looking for contributions from anybody with a view - from those who listen to the station and those that don’t. By listening carefully, I believe we’ll help ensure Radio Cymru remains a successful, ambitious and vibrant service for years to come.

If you’d like to get involved, you can share your views in a number of ways.

By email at sgwrsradiocymru@bbc.co.uk

By telephoning the dedicated Sgwrs Radio Cymru hotline on 03703 33 16 36

By writing to Sgwrs Radio Cymru, Room 3020, Â鶹ԼÅÄ Cymru Wales, Llandaff, Cardiff, CF5 2YQ Ìý

We’ve also suggested four questions you might want to consider in your response, but feel free to give your view on any aspect of the service. The four questions are:

• Is Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Cymru achieving the right balance between its news and entertainment output? If not, what do you think we should change?
  
  
• Does Radio Cymru’s music strike the right chord with you and your family?Ìý If not, what would you like to hear?
  
  
• Looking to the future, do you agree that Radio Cymru should broaden its appeal, including among those less confident in Welsh?
  
  
• If you do agree, how should Radio Cymru change or adapt its programming to make these new audiences feel more welcome and included?

Thanks for getting involved.

Y prynhawn yma, fe draddodais araith yn yr Å´yl Cyfryngau Celtaidd yn Abertawe ynglÅ·n â rhai o’r sialensau sy’n wynebu darlledu Cymraeg o ganlyniad i newidiadau cymdeithasol ac ieithyddol. Gallwch chi ddarllen yr araith gyfan fan .Ìý

Yn yr araith, fe gyhoeddais bod Â鶹ԼÅÄ Cymru Wales yn gwahodd gwrandawyr radio ar draws Cymru i gymryd rhan mewn ‘sgwrs’ genedlaethol ynglÅ·n â Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Cymru fel rhan o’r prosiect ymchwil radio mwyaf erioed yng Nghymru.Ìý

• Os ydych chi’n cytuno, sut dylai Radio Cymru newid neu addasu ei rhaglenni i wneud i’r cynulleidfaoedd newydd hyn deimlo bod croeso iddyn nhw a’u bod nhw’n cael eu cynnwys?
