Radio Cumbernauld FM

Cumbernauld FM is a community radio station for Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire, broadcasting locally on 106.8 FM. Its licensed community purpose includes local information, participation and the development of broadcasting skills. The service is rooted in the town and provides a platform for voices and organisations within its surrounding community.

Music is accompanied by local and national news, with opportunities for community groups to contribute. The station's commitments include engagement with local organisations and practical training in radio production. Broadcasting, recording and editing skills form part of that wider activity, helping participants understand how programmes are prepared as well as how they are presented.

The station describes an entirely volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation, with community partnerships forming part of its everyday work. These include community councils and forums, Police Scotland, charities and local food and clothing banks. Organisations are invited to explain their services through the station, connecting practical support with a wider local audience. Alongside entertainment, this gives CFM a role in making community activity more visible and in helping residents hear directly from groups working around them.

The local remit gives Cumbernauld FM a role beyond providing a general music soundtrack. Its community connections include voluntary activity and subjects relevant to residents' everyday lives. The station is intended for listeners who value a town-based service and for people interested in taking part in radio, with local identity and access forming the foundation of its work.
