As a local community broadcaster with strong links to Scottish culture and arts, Celtic Music Radio works closely with many of the music and arts festivals in the Glasgow area, providing live coverage of key events, interviews with performers, and detailed what's on.

Celtic Music Radio works closely with the Scottish International Piano Competition broadcasting live coverage of all of the performances.

Following two Ofcom Restricted Service Licence (RSL) short-term trial broadcasts during January 2006 and January 2007 on FM, Celtic Music Radio was awarded a 5-year AM (MW) broadcast Community Radio Licence by OFCOM in July 2007.

The switch to FM improved reception, availability, visibility to tune-in, listener experience and reasons to reach the audience.

During February 2016, the radio station moved from Glasgow Caledonian University to premises in Admiral Street, which allowed the station to build 3 new studios, a performance space, boardroom, production facilities and Green Room for performing artists.
