**Cornwall's Rewind Radio** is an [Independent Local Radio](/source/Independent_Local_Radio) station broadcasting in [Cornwall](/source/Cornwall), established in 2021. The station is available in Cornwall through [DAB](/source/Digital_radio_in_the_United_Kingdom) and online.

Founded by Richard Woods, Shaun Ford and Jamie Reed,[1] online test transmissions for Rewind Radio began during England's [2021 COVID-19 lockdown](/source/Third_COVID-19_lockdown_in_England), with the station launching on 7 October 2021. The station's presenting team included local presenters Victoria Leigh, Matt Rogers and Gavin Marshall.[2] From April 2024, Rewind Radio became the only local commercial radio station to serve the county following [Bauer Media Audio UK](/source/Bauer_Media_Audio_UK)'s decision to merge [Pirate FM](/source/Pirate_FM) with its national [Greatest Hits Radio](/source/Greatest_Hits_Radio) network.[3]

In November 2023, Jamie Reed announced his departure from Cornwall's Rewind Radio for health reasons.[1] Also, in November 2023, the station appointed Paul Fenton as its national sales director, and he took up the post on 1 December.[4]

In March 2024, Cornwall's Rewind Radio's managing director, Richard Woods, and commercial director Martyn Saulsbury met local MPs [George Eustace](/source/George_Eustace) and [Derek Thomas](/source/Derek_Thomas_(politician)) at [Westminster](/source/Westminster) as part of their campaign to make [FM](/source/Frequency_modulation) radio available throughout Cornwall, with both MPs giving their support to a county-wide FM frequency for local output.[5][6]

On 2 April 2024, the station launched a new weekday breakfast show presented by Josh Curnow and Laura Mac.[7][8] On 3 June, the station announced that it had hired former [BBC Radio Cornwall](/source/BBC_Radio_Cornwall) presenter Jack Murley as programme controller and weekday midmorning presenter.[9]

On 3 March 2026, it was announced that Rewind Radio had appointed Craig Hicks as interim programme manager and Duchy Daytime presenter.[10]
