BBC Radio Cornwall

BBC Radio Cornwall is the BBC's local radio station serving the county of Cornwall.

It broadcasts on FM, DAB, digital TV and via BBC Sounds from studios at Phoenix Wharf in Truro.

According to RAJAR, the station has a weekly audience of 92,000 listeners of May 2025.

Until 31 December 1982, local radio services for Cornwall had amounted to a regional weekday breakfast show Morning Sou'West, aired on BBC Radio 4's frequencies in Devon and Cornwall, plus five-minute regional bulletins on Saturday mornings and Mondays to Saturdays at lunchtime and teatime. There was no regional output on Sundays.

On 17 January 1983, BBC Radio Cornwall (and BBC Radio Devon) launched, although for its first few years on air, both stations shared an afternoon programme.

BBC Radio Cornwall is broadcasts on 95.2 MHz for East Cornwall from the Caradon Hill transmitting station located on Bodmin Moor, 96.0 MHz on the Isles of Scilly and 103.9 MHz from Redruth transmitting station located on Lanner Hill for West Cornwall, as well as on DAB. It was also broadcast on 630 kHz and 657 kHz AM until 2 March 2020, when those transmitters were closed for cost savings.

The station also broadcasts on Freeview TV channel 713 in the BBC South West region and streams online via BBC Sounds.

Local programming is produced and broadcast from the BBC's Truro studios from 6 am to 2 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturdays.
