Source FM is a radio station for Cornwall, UK made by and for the people who live and work in and around Falmouth and Penryn. We’re very different from commercial radio, Source FM has a truly diverse schedule of music and chat shows for you to listen in to at all times of the day and night. Have a nose around the Schedule and Presenters sections to get a feel for the creative volunteers who work here and to see what they have to say about their radio programmes. But most of all make sure you tune in to hear the magic of real Cornish radio.
Source FM can be whatever you want it to be because the station is open to local community volunteers of all ages and walks of life. We’re always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make Source FM a vibrant and interesting local radio station. Whether you fancy presenting the news, producing a documentary on local history, or getting involved with our ParkLive event then please get in touch with your local Cornish radio station by emailing: enquiries@thesourcefm.co.uk
You can listen to Source FM by tuning in to 96.1FM in the Falmouth and Penryn area, but if you're further afield, you can still listen to us online.

I've produced some content for it (Source) during the lockdown, and I train students to make radio and help them get involved in Source FM, one of my PhD researchers uses it for his work too. It's a really important resource that brings people together and helps us get more people able to make audio.

I just discovered your wonderful station! Wow love it....from Barbara Hepworth to the Buzzcocks! Very cool indeed. I grew up as a kid in Cornwall (St. Day and Grampound) in the 60's my family emigrated to California in 1967. My love for anything brewed in Cornwall is strong! I have spent the last 40 years as a Graphic Designer for TV and Print here in Los Angeles, I was also an online DJ for a local station here. So happy to have discovered Source!
