Cumnock Community Radio is a vibrant new local station proudly serving East Ayrshire, founded in 2024 by veteran broadcaster Dave Sadler. With a passion for community engagement and decades of radio experience, Dave launched the station to bring fresh energy, local voices, and meaningful programming to the heart of Cumnock and beyond.
Dave’s broadcasting journey began in 1976 with Radio Cabin Hospital Radio in Herne Bay, Kent. Since then, he has built an impressive career across the UK, contributing to stations such as Viking Radio in Margate, Medway Radio in the 1990s, and Nevis Radio in Fort William, Scotland. His dedication to local radio continued with Ambersound FM in Ripley, Derbyshire in 2008, and most recently, 3Towns FM in Ardrossan in 2025.
Now, with Cumnock Community Radio, Dave brings his wealth of experience and deep commitment to community storytelling, music, and local news. Whether you’re tuning in for the latest updates, enjoying local talent, or connecting with neighbours through shared stories, we’re here to amplify East Ayrshire’s voice—one broadcast at a time.
