Radio Argyll FM

Argyll FM is an independent local station based in Campbeltown, with roots in Kintyre Community Radio, which began in 2000. Its coverage extends across the Kintyre peninsula and other parts of Argyll, including island communities. The station's geographical setting also allows its FM signal to reach parts of Ayrshire and Northern Ireland.

A volunteer team produces the service, which operates throughout the day as a Scottish charity. Connections with Police Scotland, Argyll and Bute Council and smaller community groups support weather information, road reports, urgent appeals and local events coverage. This practical regional role accompanies a broad music programme rather than being confined to a separate news service.

Graham Nisbet presents breakfast, while Kenny Johnson contributes Musical Memories, a new-releases chart and programmes devoted to the seventies and eighties. Iain McKerral presents Curtain Up and Saturday Lunchbox. Folk at Five with Trevox and Bill Black's country programme give particular musical traditions their own settings, alongside rock, jazz, swing and brass-band shows.

The Farming Programme and Kintyre Writers' Circle connect the timetable with interests specific to the area. Ian and David's Ceol's Canan and the Sunday Ceilidh add further strands to the Scottish programme. Between presented shows, the Jukebox continues the music. Argyll FM's identity comes from that combination of regional information, volunteer voices and a schedule that can move from farming or writing to traditional music and contemporary releases.
