Cornwall’s Rewind Radio is marking five years since its company was formed.
The station began with Richard Woods, Jamie Reed and Shaun Ford, who came together with a plan to preserve local radio for Cornwall.
Since then, the service has grown from Rewind Radio into Cornwall’s Rewind Radio, with a wider team of almost 40 staff and volunteers working across the station.
The station says it has attended more than 200 events over the past five years, including the Royal Cornwall Show, the Boconnoc Steam Fair and the relaunch carnival in St Newlyn East.
It has also supported local fundraising through Radiothon events, the Banger Rally Challenge and work with charities and organisations on auctions, raffles and awareness campaigns.
Richard Woods, Managing Director, said: “We are proudly local, we support local, and everything we do is centred around Cornwall and the people who live here.”
Richard added: “Our focus will always be on Cornwall, the county we love and live in, and on supporting our communities, charities and local businesses.”
Although the company anniversary is being marked now, the station’s broadcast birthday will be celebrated on 7 October. That date marks its first broadcast, which opened with Greatest Day by Take That.
A fifth birthday celebration event is also planned for Friday 5 December 2026, with further details due to be announced in the coming months.
