Radio Cardiff is a MOBO (music of Black origin) community station created largely by the team which ran the temporary Bay FM and Beats FM stations on a series of 28-day Restricted Service Licences (RSLs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. The station was incorporated as Radio Cardiff Limited (RCL) on 1 November 2006 by John Lenney Jr. MBE and Ian Gallivan and launched its on-air service in October 2007. The station's mission statement is "to deliver a diverse range of music with shows that break the mould of traditional radio". Radio Cardiff is based at Meanwhile House with one main live studio and a second back-up studio, often used for pre-recording shows.
