Radio stations in the Forth Valley

The Forth Valley is an area of central Scotland associated with the River Forth and communities around Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Radio with a Forth Valley focus can address interests shared across these places while recognising their different local identities. The geographical connection comes from the people, organisations and subjects within the programme. Presented music may accompany news, requests and features about community activity. Charities, health services and voluntary groups provide opportunities for interviews and information, bringing local experiences into the same conversation. Such contributions can explain the work of organisations whose services and membership extend across several towns rather than one immediate neighbourhood. Practical subjects include weather, local events and developments affecting daily life. A regional perspective can follow the connections between nearby communities without reducing them to a single town's concerns. Forth Valley broadcasting offers a shared setting for those connections, combining entertainment with voices and information drawn from this part of Scotland.
