West Cornwall's Coast FM is a local radio station for West Cornwall. It contains a combination of local news, weather, music and talk. The station launched from its studios in Penzance on 5 November 2016 as a re-brand of Penwith Radio.

Under the 'Character of service' section of the station's key commitments, it states that the station "offers a local voice, broadcasting a service which acts as a barometer of local opinion, and provides companionship for people, enabling them to feel more connected and less isolated."[1]

Monetary backing is provided by advertisements and sponsorship from local businesses and organisations, as well as national grant funding.[2] The station is a community interest company.[3]
