About our Station
Kingdom FM is the ‘voice of Fife’ and as such is highly focused on local issues and has a high level of community involvement.
We have our very own registered charity, Kingdom Kids, which regularly raises and distributes money to worthy groups and individuals within our broadcast area. In addition we offer a free service to listeners to advertise their clubs and events each hour when we deliver our what’s on guide, branded on air as the ‘Noticeboard’.
Kingdom Action is a community feature broadcast twice daily Monday to Friday and offers an opportunity for our audience to learn about the issues that affect them on a daily basis. Recently this has included Money Advice, Road Safety and recycling in Fife. Kingdom FM recently teamed up with the local emergency services to provide, free of charge, a series of hard-hitting stage plays to every S4 and S5 pupil in Fife discussing the risks of careless driving. The ‘Safe Drive, Stay Alive’ campaign was the first of it’s kind in Scotland and attracted massive national media attention.
Frequent roadshows at major public events such as the Glenrothes Road Running Festival and various Highland Games throughout the summer months also allows the radio station to have a public ‘face’ and make contact with the audience.
Music
At Kingdom FM, we pride ourselves on the quality and variety of music we play. The music is a spread of hits from across the years (1960s onwards), mixed with easy listening, melodic recurrents and current chart music. An example of our current playlist is as follows:
