It has been reported that a group of Welsh radio stations have decided to boycott X Factor winner Leon Jackson’s debut single.
Bridge FM, Swansea Bay Radio, Radio Carmarthenshire, Radio Pembrokeshire and Scarlet FM which are all owned by Town and Country Broadcasting have suggested that phone line issues resulted in Leon’s rival Rhydian Roberts missing out on the grand prize.
Programme manager Gareth Davies told Radiotoday.co.uk said that “Our radio station presenters have been inundated with calls suggesting that during Saturday’s X Factor their votes for Welsh favourite Rhydian, supported by local Neath diva Katherine Jenkins, were not able to be counted as lines were jammed, as a result until justice is done, we’ve decided not to play the winner’s single on our group of stations.”
