Aberdeen radio station Original 106 is expanding into Tayside and Fife to reach more listeners than ever.
Kingdom FM will be rebranded as Original 106, creating a new brand for listeners in the region with a mix of modern music as well as classics from the 80s and 90s, plus hourly news bulletins delivered live from studios in the newsrooms of The Courier in Dundee and The Press and Journal in Aberdeen.
Robin Galloway, head of presentation at station owners DC Thomson, said: “The Original 106 relaunch allows us to build on everything great about Kingdom FM, with a new refreshed brand that now also covers Tayside and Fife.”
There will be no changes to programming for listeners in Aberdeen, while the current award-winning Kingdom breakfast show with Dave Connor and Vanessa Motion will now be broadcast to Original 106 listeners in Tayside and Fife.
News, travel and ads will be localised to the different regions.
Dave Connor added: “Being a born and bred Fifer and one of the first presenters on Kingdom FM, I’m excited to be part of this latest evolution of the station and expand our Dave and Vanessa breakfast show into Tayside.
“We’re committed to continuing to celebrate Fife, still being locally based at our studios in Kirkcaldy, and we look forward to welcoming listeners in Dundee and Perth into our radio family.”
Original 106 is available to listen to on FM, DAB, app and smart speaker.
