History
Following the success of Radio Pembrokeshire in 2002, Radio Carmarthenshire was formed in mid-2003. Initially there were two applicants for the Carmarthenshire licence. The second applicant Carmarthenshire Sound were forced to withdraw half way through the licence approval period because the applicant's parent company owned neighbouring radio stations Swansea Sound and The Wave. This meant that Keri Jones's Radio Carmarthenshire bid won the licence unopposed. Britain's media and communications regulator, Ofcom, has sinced relaxed the rules of ownership and Radio Carmarthenshire's current parent company happens to own numerous neighbouring radio stations.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
