Coast FM is a community radio station for West Cornwall, based in Penzance and built around local life in a part of the country that is often badly served by larger stations. Its strength is that it sounds rooted in the area, with programmes shaped by local people, local interests and the character of West Cornwall.

The station combines local news, community issues, culture and specialist music programming across the week. That mix gives Coast FM a broader identity than a straight music station, and makes it useful for listeners who want radio that reflects what is happening around them as well as what is playing next.

Presenter-led shows help give Coast FM a recognisable voice. Publicly listed programming includes Coast FM Gold with Nick Dent, Start The Weekend with Glenn and Claire, and Stereo Underground with Richard Latto, alongside regular local music and features-based output.

Run by the community for the community, Coast FM stands out because it covers West Cornwall on its own terms. For listeners in and around Penzance, it offers a more local, more personal alternative to bigger stations that barely acknowledge the area.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Nick Dent: Presenter of Coast FM Gold.
  • Glenn and Claire: Presenters of Start The Weekend.
  • Richard Latto: Presenter of Stereo Underground.
