The idea to create a community radio station in the Falmouth and Penryn area goes back to 2006, when Russell Clarke, former Source FM director, made a successful licence application to Ofcom.

Programmes range from soul music to rock, hip hop and dubstep, depending on the time and day.
Since 2013, Source FM host six live music events in Kimberley Park, Falmouth called Parklive every year.
