We've a history of reporting big stories by getting behind the headlines
Every day our team of journalists brings the latest news to South West Scotland - geographically one of the largest patches covered by independent radio in the U.K.
We've a history of reporting big stories by getting behind the headlines; the theft of the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece from Drumlanrig Castle in 2003, the 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak, the Sinking of the Solway Harvester in 2000 as well as the 1988 Lockerbie tragedy, to name but a few. So remember you'll hear it first with us!
In addition, as part of leading media group, Bauer Radio, South Westsound FM has huge resources throughout Scotland, the UK, and Europe - so it's easy to see how South Westsound FM News brings you the most up to date local, national and international stories available in the region.
The latest Dumfries and Galloway business news is broadcast at 8:15am each weekday whilst Sport News bulletins are also available, Monday to Friday at 7:40am, 8:40am, 12:40am and 17:40am - all adding up to a comprehensive service for the region that's second to none.
