Despite a few minutes yesterday when it sounded like we'd flipped the format to industrial techno (see post below), Original 106 GOLD has had its first set of listening figures - and we are blown away with the result!
Nearly 𝟓𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 folk per-month in north east Scotland are tuning in for their daily fix of golden oldies – *always 60s, 70s, 80s*. 😀

Non-stop classic hits, online, on DAB radio in NE Scotland, and via the link below.

Thanks for listening.... enjoy!

Always 60s 70s 80s

Apologies if you're listening to Original 106 GOLD (on DAB), and you're thinking we've switched music policy to bangin' hard house music.
We haven't.
It's a tech (techno?) problem the engineers are weilding big hammers at, in time to the beats...
We'll get it fixed soon 🙂
