About

Johnstone Sound was the idea of Alex Kerr,  who was born in the town and lived in Howwood road. The idea was to give the Town a community radio service. One of Alex dreams when he was 16 and at Johnstone High School. Alex also founded Johnstone Talking Newspaper for the blind back in 1982, a service that’s now over 40 years  as Renfrewshire Sound.

Alex made contact with Andy McCrory, a local lad and started to plan together how they would start the station. Johnstone Sound was first broadcast on April 2019 from its website.

Today Johnstone Sound now have over 15 members, who do a variety of jobs , either on-air or behind the scenes.
