Kingdom FM is a local radio station serving the Fife area in Scotland. It features a variety of music programming, news updates, and community-focused content for listeners.
From the Wikipedia article
Kingdom FM was an Independent Local Radio station serving Fife. It was owned and operated by DC Thomson Media and was broadcast from studios at Elizabeth House in Kirkcaldy. The station was broadcast on five FM frequencies: 95.2 (Dunfermline and West Fife), 96.1 (Glenrothes, Central and East Fife), 96.6 (Kirkcaldy), 105.4 (St Andrews) and 106.3 FM (the East Neuk). On 29 October 2019, it also began broadcasting on DAB via the Central Scotland MUX. As of September 2024, the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of over 51,000 listeners, according to RAJAR. In January 2025, Kingdom FM was rebranded as part of a merger with Original 106, another DC Thomson-owned station. While adopting the Original 106 name, the service continues to broadcast local programming from Kirkcaldy, including a dedicated local breakfast show, along with local news, travel and advertising opt-outs for Fife.
