Regal Radio - Community Radio for West Lothian

Would you like to feature on West Lothian’s very own community radio station?

Regal Radio is West Lothian’s community radio station, run entirely by local volunteers and presenters with a passion for radio. Broadcasting 24/7, 365 days a year. it offers a broad mix of music, interviews and local community features. Set up around 10 years ago, it was initially based out of the Regal Theatre in Bathgate (hence the station name).

With presenters ranging from teenagers to pensioners, there is truly something for everyone! The wide range of music shows include blues, country, rock, classical, a folk show, dance night and more. Besides the music, other shows include the Wellbeing Wave, Storytelling and a Community Outreach Show, offering a platform for local charities and non-profits to highlight their work.

Having our own community radio is an invaluable resource. It offers an accessible broadcasting option for smaller organisations and groups to promote themselves, as well as skills development and volunteering opportunities for anyone keen to be involved in production and presenting. It’s an internet radio station, mostly pre-recorded but with some live shows too.
