SA Radio Live, formerly Radio Tircoed, is a community radio station serving Tircoed, Penllergaer, Pontardulais, Gorseinon, Pontlliw and surrounding areas in the north west of the City and County of Swansea, Wales.[1]
The station, which broadcasts from studios at the Tircoed Village Hall, was founded in 2005 as a Restricted Service License (RSL) station, transmitting on 106.5FM, 365 days a year.
Programming output varies throughout the day with various music-led, talk and feature programmes alongside specialist output in the evenings and at weekends, sports coverage and weekly bilingual programmes in Welsh/English.

All SA Radio Live presenters volunteer their DJing skills to run the station seven days a week.
