“We’re absolutely thrilled to have been nominated in five categories at this year’s National Community Radio Awards and to bring home both a bronze and a silver is the icing on the cake! Being recognised on a national stage is a huge honour for everyone involved at K107fm. It’s a real testament to the dedication, creativity, and community spirit of our amazing volunteers. The station has gone from strength to strength over the past 18 months, and we’ve got big plans ahead to keep building on that success. This recognition gives us even more motivation to keep delivering great local radio for Kirkcaldy and beyond.”

Rebecca Steers, awards chair, said:

“The recognition for K107FM is well deserved, and we hope it recognises their success, and encourages others to engage, represent and support their communities.”
