Radio Original 106 Aberdeen

Original 106 Aberdeen is a commercial radio station for Aberdeen and the surrounding North East of Scotland. Familiar popular music, local presentation and regional news form the main programme, with presenters providing company through the day. The service belongs to DC Thomson and has a reporting relationship with the wider local news operation that includes The Press and Journal.

Its Aberdeen schedule includes breakfast with Claire and Pete, daytime presentation from Martin Ingram and an afternoon programme with Craig. These are presented music shows, with conversation and regular features giving individual parts of the day their own character. The broad selection offers entertainment without restricting the station to one decade or one specialist genre, while local voices keep the North East audience in view.

News and travel material supply information alongside the music. The station follows stories from Aberdeen and the surrounding area, linking the daily broadcast with communities whose work and journeys cross city boundaries. A local report can bring attention to a decision or event nearby, while the wider news connects that audience with developments elsewhere. This information role is part of the station's continuing local service.

Features such as The Music Mash add another way to engage with the programme through the songs themselves. The Aberdeen edition also sits alongside Original 106's Fife service and its music-led Gold companion. Shared ownership connects those programmes, with the Aberdeen schedule retaining its North East focus. Music, on-air personalities and local reporting together give it a distinct place in the region's everyday radio listening.
