NCB Radio, short for North Cornwall Broadcasting, is a Bodmin-based station that first went on air on 7 January 2011. It has grown into a long-running Cornish internet station with a deliberately independent streak, built around real presenters, real music tastes and a local identity that feels rooted in North Cornwall rather than imported from a central playlist desk.

The station's appeal is in its range. NCB does not sound like a narrow one-format service. Its output moves across alternative, metal, reggae, drum and bass, blues, rock, indie, eclectic selections and more, with presenters given room to shape their own shows. That freedom gives the station a stronger personality than most generic online music streams, because listeners get specialist knowledge and genuine enthusiasm instead of safe, interchangeable radio filler.

NCB also leans into its community side. Alongside the live schedule, it has pushed further into local storytelling through its Bodmin and Beyond section and has been active around events in Bodmin and the surrounding area. That blend of independent music radio and local Cornwall flavour gives the station a clearer identity than a lot of online-only outlets that never stand for much beyond playing songs.

Notable shows & presenters are:

• Aaron James – Saturday Brunch: Aaron James hosts Saturday Brunch, a weekend show that includes features such as Jason's Magic Three, the featured number one and occasional Seeds Saturday.
• Vincent Vega – Vince’s Vinyl Vault / Perfect Pitch Radio Show: Vincent Vega is one of NCB's longest-serving voices. He is closely associated with the Perfect Pitch Radio Show and Vince’s Vinyl Vault, bringing a deep-digging specialist approach that suits the station's independent style.
• Colm McGregor – Colm’s Mixtape: Colm McGregor fronts Colm’s Mixtape, one of the regular specialist shows on the NCB schedule and part of the station's alternative-leaning evening output.
• Dan Sproull – Sprigg’s Radio Show: Dan Sproull is part of the NCB team and fronts Sprigg’s Radio Show, adding to the station's eclectic presenter-led sound.
• Luke Patrick – The Moshpit: Luke Patrick hosts The Moshpit, NCB's metal show, giving the schedule a harder edge and reinforcing the station's commitment to specialist music rather than bland all-purpose playlists.
