Source FM has been part of the Falmouth and Penryn community since 2009, giving local people a place to share music, stories, ideas and creative work. The station is made by and for people who live and work around Falmouth and Penryn, with a wider welcome for anyone who loves Cornwall. That local purpose is the page’s strongest angle: Source FM is not a generic music stream, it is a community project with real roots.

The station’s schedule is deliberately varied, because community radio should reflect the people behind the microphone. Source FM carries local music, interviews, spoken word, cultural programmes, specialist music shows, local artists, student voices, community guests and creative features. Its presenters bring their own passions to the station, which gives the output a more personal feel than polished network radio.

For listeners in Cornwall, Source FM is especially useful because it gives space to Falmouth, Penryn and local creative culture. Shows such as Inside Local Music support Cornish musicians, while community features, training, outreach and events such as Parklive show that the station does more than simply broadcast songs. It is a local media platform as much as a radio station.
