Cornwall's own BBC station
BBC Radio Cornwall went on air in 1983 and broadcasts from Truro. Serving a county with a long coastline, a strong sense of identity and many remote communities, it has always played a special role in local life. During storms, floods and travel disruption, it is a lifeline for people across the county and the islands, and it proudly reflects Cornish culture, including the Cornish language, music and traditions.
What you will hear
Breakfast and drive-time programmes bring the latest headlines, travel news for the A30, A38 and local roads, ferry and rail information, and weather forecasts that matter for farmers, fishermen, surfers and holidaymakers alike. Through the day, phone-ins and interviews explore the issues that matter in Cornwall, from housing and second homes to tourism, health, fishing and the environment. Sport coverage includes local football and rugby, including the Cornish Pirates, and the station celebrates Cornish life with music, community events and specialist programmes in the evenings and at weekends.
