Born online in 2008 with one bold ambition — to give the Scottish Borders a stronger sound — TD1 Radio has grown into a powerful community voice broadcasting from the heart of Galashiels.
From internet beginnings to securing our FM licence in 2015, and now with a five-year extension granted in October 2024, TD1 Radio isn’t just surviving — we’re thriving. Louder. Stronger. More connected than ever.
We are 100% volunteer-powered. Every technician, producer and voice behind the mic gives their time freely to bring you outstanding programmes, unforgettable music, specialist shows and local stories that matter. From golden classics to brand-new discoveries, we play it all — and we play it with passion.
- This is more than radio
- This is community
- This is TD1 Radio
