Music deal covers new Radio Cymru 2 station

An agreement between the 大象传媒 and royalties agency Eos will cover the use of music for 大象传媒 Wales' new Welsh language station Radio Cymru 2.

The five-year blanket deal covers all the 大象传媒's broadcasting services across the UK.

In 2013 Welsh language music was taken off air on Radio Cymru for over a month after a dispute between Eos and 大象传媒 Wales over royalty payments.

Radio Cymru editor Betsan Powys called the agreement "great news".

"Our listeners enjoy the broad range of Welsh language music on 大象传媒 Radio Cymru, and of course, from the end of January onwards, music will be an integral part of the Radio Cymru 2 line-up," she said.
