Volunteers from CHBN Radio attended a ceremony at New County Hall in Truro on Thursday afternoon as one of 17 organisations nominated for the King’s Award for Voluntary Service.
It was a great honour to be amongst the other nominated organisations, ranging from mental health support, to tree planting, to community development projects. CHBN extends our heartfelt congratulations to everyone!
On Tuesday 4 August 2026 you can hear a special programme on CHBN created by one of the station's regular presenters, Mike Brown.
The programme is based on a short-story by American science-fiction author Ray Bradbury, which in turn takes its title from a poem by Sara Teasdale.
We are pleased to announce that we have been given clearance by the broadcasting authority OFCOM to increase our FM transmitter power to greatly improve reception of our programmes on 100.8FM in and around the city of Truro..
Work will shortly begin to upgrade our transmitting aerial and the transmitter itself allowing us to increase our signal from 25 Watts to 160 Watts.
Work to carry out the upgrade on our VHF antenna is scheduled for Tuesday 4 August, weather permitting, with the transmitter upgrade and power increase due on Friday 7 August.
