Northsound 2 is a commercial local radio station serving Aberdeen and the north east of Scotland, though it can be heard further afield in Orkney and the Highlands.
It launched at 6am on 27 July 1981. The first presenter on air was Bobby Hain, and the first record played was "We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. Nicky Campbell is probably the best-known broadcaster to have started his career at Northsound, which he joined after graduating from the University of Aberdeen. He is now on BBC Radio 5 Live.
In 1995 the station split its services to become Northsound 1 on 96.9FM, and Northsound 2 on 1035MW. Both stations now also broadcast on DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting – i.e. Digital Radio).
