Radio Original 106 Tayside

Original 106 Tayside is the Tayside service of the Scottish music broadcaster Original 106. Familiar popular songs sit alongside presented programmes and regional information, with Dundee and the surrounding area providing a clear editorial connection. The station belongs to DC Thomson's radio family and shares parts of its entertainment offering with the Aberdeen and Fife services.

The Tayside schedule includes Original 106 Breakfast with Claire and Pete and the Keep The Heid feature. Martin Ingram follows with The Top 10 At 10, which draws on two musical years. Later programmes include David Lewis, while Lachlan McKenzie supplies Friday-evening music before The Original 106 Party Night. These named strands give the service a recognisable structure across the day and into the weekend.

Its regional reporting adds a different dimension to the music. Published Tayside stories have followed Dundee housing provision, NHS Tayside matters and local transport and community incidents. This is an editorial setting connected with life around the city and the wider region, rather than a claim that the songs must all come from Tayside performers. Shared entertainment and local reporting contribute different things to the station.

The broadcaster's musical promise is a broad selection of favourites, with conversation, quizzes and themed choices giving presenters room to shape their shows. The Top 10 At 10 introduces a retrospective element, while the Friday party programmes turn towards a more celebratory sound. Together, these features make Original 106 Tayside a presented regional music service, combining familiar records with the local stories and audience connections of its Scottish setting.
