A former Pirate FM presenter who transferred to Greatest Hits Radio is returning to his Cornwall roots.

Scott Temple is joining Rewind Radio – Cornwall’s only independent commercial station.

He brings with him 11 years of experience Cornwall’s airwaves, known for features such as ‘Double Duchy’, while he has been in radio for more than 25 years.

He spent more than a decade with Pirate FM, before it ended in April.

Taking over the FM slot was Greatest Hits Radio, while Pirate FM became Hits Radio Cornwall, available only on DAB digital radio.

Scott joined fellow ex Pirate presenter Holly Day as co-hosts of a new local afternoon show on Greatest Hits Radio, but seven months later has decided he wants to remain committed to local radio – believing it to hold a “unique and impactful role in the community.”

He said: “I am delighted to be part of a fast-growing local radio station that’s making a significant impact across Cornwall.

“Last week’s Radiothon is a testament to the hard work Richard Woods and his team have put in.”

His addition to the team has been described as a significant move for the station as it continues to expand its reach and influence in the region.

Richard Woods, managing director of Cornwall’s Rewind Radio, shared his excitement about Scott’s arrival, saying: “Having someone as recognisable as Scott on air can only bring more listeners and, in turn, benefit our commercial partners.

“Scott brings over 25 years of commercial radio experience, and I am thrilled he sees Rewind as his new home for daytime radio.”

Scott will follow Jack Murley’s new time slot of 10 am to 1pm, during which Jack will continue well known segments such as “If You Know, You Know” and the “Big Business Battle.”

Scott will also bring back the “Double Duchy” feature, a nod to his legacy and dedication to community-focused broadcasting in Cornwall.
