Radio stations in Cornwall

Cornwall has a strong local identity and a geography that stretches well beyond any one town. Radio intended for the county may combine shared network shows with a Cornish edition or presentation relevant to the area. That differs from assuming that a UK-wide programme becomes local merely because it can be received there. A county connection should be supported by the station's name, audience or actual schedule. The label Cornwall describes where a service is rooted, not whether it plays recent hits, gentle songs or speech. A programme can serve people across the county while resembling other editions of its network at some times of day. Its geographical role comes from the specific audience it addresses. County coverage is broader than a single town; using this category need not suggest that all of Cornwall has the same local news agenda or musical taste.
