BBC Radio Cornwall

From Free net encyclopedia

BBC Radio Cornwall is the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Cornwall, also covering the Isles of Scilly. It broadcasts from its studios in Truro on 95.2, 96.0 and 103.9 FM, as well as on DAB. Prior to its launch on 17 January 1983, BBC regional radio broadcasting for Cornwall amounted to the breakfast show 'Morning Sou'West' on the AM frequencies of Radio 4 in Devon and Cornwall. Initially Radio Cornwall shared an afternoon programme with BBC Radio Devon, but now sustains a full daytime service, linking with other BBC local stations in the south-west and west for a regional evening service. The station broadcasts a short weekly news bulletin in the Cornish language.
