The 96.4 MHz transmitter serves Swansea itself, as well as nearby [[Neath]], [[Port Talbot]], [[Carmarthen]] and [[Llanelli]], although coverage on DAB is slightly better than FM in [[Carmarthenshire]] and towards [[Bridgend]].

The station's output cannot be heard towards South East Wales. |

== Music Policy == |
|||
The Wave play [[Hot AC]] music, with [[Top 40]] songs appearing regularly alongside recent and classic chart hits. As well as producing its own chart programme, 'The Wave Chart Show', it carries the networked [[Hit 40 UK]] programme on Sundays from 4.00pm - 7.00pm. |
