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.

It has introduced me to lots of new people, that I may not have otherwise met. I've learned new skills and improved my confidence by creating a radio show and presenting on stage. And felt well supported through everything I've done with Source

Just a quickie to say thank you for keeping us entertained on our (rainy) holiday in Falmouth. We really enjoyed the variety of music on your radio station and loved hearing all the local voices.
