The Folk Show features music ranging from early recordings of traditional Folk music through to Contemporary folk music. Also included on the playlist are recordings by Manx folk bands.[1]

The programme is transmitted on the station's 9:00pm – 10:00pm slot on Tuesday nights and is broadcast on FM and MW frequencies as well as world wide through the Manx Radio website.[2]

Following transmission the edition is then available on the Manx Radio website to be listened to again for the following seven days.[3]

Having presented the show for 45 years, John Kaneen made his final broadcast in June 2022. As a consequence of poor health this transmission was a repeat of a previous edition of the show.[4]

Whilst Manx Radio is a commercial radio station,[5] The Folk Show is not interrupted by the playing of commercials.
