Kirkcaldy community radio station K107FM has been named Local Radio Station of the Year 2026 at the Scottish Enterprise Awards.
The volunteer-run station received the award for Excellence in Volunteer-Led Broadcasting, recognising its work providing local information, supporting community participation and giving people across Fife opportunities to get involved in radio.
K107FM is a registered Scottish charity based in Kirkcaldy, broadcasting local news, music, interviews and community programming produced by volunteers.
The station works with local charities, businesses, community groups and other organisations, helping them share their stories while providing opportunities for people to develop broadcasting experience and confidence.
Alex Airnes from K107FM said: “This recognition belongs to the volunteers, presenters, listeners, partners and supporters who make the station what it is. Their care for local communities is what keeps K107FM at the heart of Fife.”
Alex also highlighted the importance of maintaining genuinely local radio services at a time when local media is becoming increasingly rare, with the station continuing to provide opportunities for people to participate in broadcasting.
The Scottish Enterprise Awards are organised by SME News and recognise organisations across Scotland for their work in business, innovation and community involvement.
Awards Coordinator Melissa Bramall congratulated this year’s recipients, thanking the organisations involved and wishing them continued success in 2027 and beyond.
K107FM says it will continue working with communities across Fife, providing a platform for local voices and supporting organisations through news coverage, interviews, events and partnerships.
