Radio Central FM

Central FM is a local commercial station for Scotland's Forth Valley. Popular music runs through the programme, with presented shows, local news, weather and entertainment connecting the service with listeners across its area.

Brad, Shaz and Andrew present the breakfast programme, with Stuart McCafferty following during the day. Smithy takes the afternoon and Liv Cowle presents the evening. Non-Stop Hits fills other parts of the timetable, so the station combines a recognisable presenting team with longer sequences focused on music.

The Saturday Social and Retro Charts provide additional named features beyond the weekday line-up. The retrospective strand sits alongside a general playlist that can include newer Scottish music as well as established international records. Recent selections have ranged from Cammy Barnes's Highland Runaway to Dr Alban's It's My Life and No Doubt's song of the same name, illustrating the mix of current and familiar material.

Local coverage follows the Forth Valley, including Falkirk and Stirling. News and weather accompany the entertainment output, while the Central FM Awards give recognition to people and organisations in its area. The broadcaster also highlights Start Up Stirling, linking the station with local charitable activity. Its breakfast team's Wake Up Forth Valley identity makes that geographic focus explicit: the service is organised around a Scottish local audience rather than simply relaying a nationwide music brand. Presenter-led daytime radio, weekend features and community involvement are all part of Central FM's programme.
