BBC R. Cornwall and ILR Plymouth Sound

Chapter 20 in News in the Regions, 1989, pp 185-191 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Radio Cornwall is one of the smallest and most successful of the 35 or 36 BBC local stations in England. It is a classic example of how communities with a strong identity need and appreciate a service of their own. It opened only in 1983, when the services to Devon and Cornwall were separated. It is based in Truro, with a small purpose-built headquarters close to the town centre. Its broadcasts are mostly speech-based, with a staff of 10 journalists plus a news editor, a station manager, 3 presenters and others, bringing its total staff to about 26. One of its 10 journalists is based in Penzance to the west and another in Liskeard to the east, again because of the great distances and slow roads in the county.
