Kingdom FM is a radio station serving the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland as an Adult Contemporary station. KingdomFM is based in Markinch - on the outskirts of Glenrothes in central Fife. It can be received as far away as Edinburgh, Dundee and Stirling via an FM Radio, and broadcasts via the World Wide Web from www.kingdomfm.co.uk.
According to their charter of service, KingdomFM is "the voice of Fife and is highly focussed on local issues with a high level of community involvement"
KingdomFM's music, as guided by Ofcom is "a spread of hits from across the years (60s onwards), mixed with easy listening, melodic recurrents and current chart music (although current chart music should not make up more than a quarter of the music output)".
