Two Lochs Radio is Britain's smallest commercial radio station, and community broadcaster for the Gairloch, Loch Ewe and Loch Maree areas of Wester Ross, in the Highlands of Scotland. The station broadcasts in stereo on 106 and 106.6 FM.

For about 40 hours per week the station broadcasts programmes produced by volunteer presenters, with the remaining airtime occupied by digital services "Smooth Radio" during the day and "Magic 105.4" or "105.2 Smooth Radio Glasgow" overnight.

In April 2008, Two Lochs Radio also launched an online "Listen live" streaming service, accessible from a button on its homepage, and also in the Reciva database for Internet radios.

Two Lochs Radio's programme schedule includes daily breakfast and afternoon shows, plus a range of individual music and local interest programmes, including Gaelic broadcasts and recordings from local events. The station takes part in regular two-way broadcast link-ups with neighbouring station "Cuillin FM" on Skye, and also broadcasts Gaelic programmes produced by Barra & Vatersay Community Radio and by CKJM in Cape Breton.

Two Lochs Radio was named "Calor Scottish Community Business of the Year" in 2004, and is a three-times winner of the Wallace Sword award for the best Gaelic magazine programme produced by a Highland community radio station.

The station operates on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of the community, and is dependent on advertising, local fundraising and donations for its continuing existence. Membership of the station is open to all who support its aims.

Contact details and schedules are available on the station's [http://www.2lr.co.uk/ website] .
