Dunoon Community Radio

Dunoon Community Radio serves Dunoon, the Cowal Peninsula and the surrounding area as a volunteer-run registered charity. Its programmes combine music with local history, culture, leisure and social subjects. Gaelic language and culture have a particular place in its community purpose, alongside opportunities for younger and older residents to participate.

Frlly, also known as Frances-Rosemary Lynn, contributes storytelling and Scottish history as well as music. Roads, Rail and Rivers brings conversation and local updates into the morning programme, while Argyll Country Folk connects legends, people and songs. Ishbel Murray's Coel's Craic adds Gaelic music and conversation, and Ian Wilson presents West Coast Ceilidh.

Bob Leslie explores traditional music and its connections in Transatlantic Conversations. Dave de Kort presents Indulgence, while Nikki Lyle contributes rock and pop interests and programmes with Malcolm Scott. Rock Trish's Whatever Rocks Your Boat ranges from established rock favourites to newer bands, with interviews and first plays among its features.

The service also carries programmes connected with Celtic Music Radio, including contributions from Alex Jenkins and Nikki Lyle. Bill Black's Classic Country adds another specialist strand, while Charles Fletcher's The Week in Holyrood follows Scottish politics. Local groups, schools, charities and fundraisers are part of the station's intended community network. This gives the programme a Cowal foundation while allowing music and cultural connections from elsewhere in Scotland to enter the mix.
