“Pure West Radio (PWR) has established itself as THE local community radio station since its inception over 4 years ago and today PWR reaches over 500,000 people across its platforms each month.
“This is a remarkable achievement in such a short time and today PWR is the go to media outlet for listeners to hear the latest local news, vital community information, check out what’s on, engage with each other in an entertaining fashion, and of course, hear great music.
“During the Covid crisis PWR (in association with Pembrokeshire County Council and other bodies), became the essential place for listeners to keep up to date, due to its prompt and rapid response to unfolding events.”
