The Victoria Radio Network has been entertaining and informing patients, staff and visitors to hospital services in Kirkcaldy since 1971. This makes VRN one of the country’s longest-running radio stations.
Through these years, many of VRN’s presenters have gone on to even greater things – and we’ve picked up numerous national awards for our output.
For much of that time, it was only possible to tune in through bedside radios in the hospital itself. In 2002, the station took a huge leap forward when it was awarded a license to broadcast on Medium Wave (AM) to the premises of the Victoria Hospital – allowing people to tune in on their own radio sets for the first time.
Today, the station broadcasts 24-hours a day, 7 days a week on 1287AM. We’ve invested heavily in our studios over the past few years, and our broadcasting facilities are the same standard as many commercial stations.
