Heartland FM has long been part of local broadcasting in Perthshire, and the current version of the station is clearly built to serve rural Perthshire properly rather than pretending that one generic regional feed can cover everything. With FM coverage split between Highland and Lowland Perthshire, it is positioned as a genuinely local service for towns and villages across a wide part of the county, not just a single settlement with a web stream attached.

What makes Heartland FM useful is that it leans into community information as well as music. The station’s current output includes local chat, interviews, community updates and a strong what’s-on focus, which is exactly what a community station should be doing if it wants to matter beyond background listening. That makes it more relevant to everyday life in Perthshire than a faceless automated stream or a broad commercial service that barely notices the area exists.

The schedule also has enough real identity to give listeners reasons to come back for specific programmes. Breakfast, daytime output, community noticeboard programming, afternoon shows and specialist weekend strands all give the station more shape than a thin volunteer project running on fumes. For listeners in Perthshire, Heartland FM offers a proper local companion station with recognisable voices and a clear sense of place.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Dave Mac – Breakfast: Dave Mac hosts Breakfast, waking up Perthshire with news, chat, local information, travel updates and music across the weekday morning slot.
  • Lewis Ness – Daytimes: Lewis Ness presents Daytimes, mixing music with community chat, local stories and regular interviews from across Perthshire.
  • Alex Horsburgh – The Heartland FM Noticeboard: Alex Horsburgh fronts The Heartland FM Noticeboard, an in-depth look at community events taking place across Perthshire with chat and local information built into the show.
  • Graham & Janice – Afternoons: Graham and Janice present Afternoons, giving the station a warm, personality-led local show later in the day rather than just more automation.
  • Andrew McGarva – Scottish Sunday: Andrew McGarva hosts Scottish Sunday, spanning traditional and mainstream Scottish music with occasional interviews and sessions.
  • Ronny Costello – Club Classics: Ronny Costello presents Club Classics, bringing a more upbeat specialist music strand into the late-night weekend schedule.
