Saga 106.6FM is an independent radio station for the East Midlands, broadcasting to Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland. Part of the Saga Radio Group, the regional station broadcasts from the Riverside Business Park in Nottingham, close to the old Central/Carlton television studios on Lenton Lane. It is a quality service aimed at an audience aged fifty plus. Familiar, melodic music covers most genres from the last six decades and today.

The array of presenters have included many who made their names on the region's commercial stations including John Peters, who launched Radio Trent (the East Midlands' first commercial radio station in 1975), Amanda Bowman, Tony Lyman, Tim Gough, Steve Merike, David Lloyd, Paul Robey, Jeff Cooper, Andy Marriott, Ian Chilvers, Mark Burrows, Ron Coles, Steve Orchard, Tim Rogers, Ashley Franklin, Peter Quinn, Sheila Tracey, 'Diddy' David Hamilton, Mike Wyer and Erica Hughes. Paul Robey is also Saga's Group Programme Director.

The main 106.6FM signal comes from the Waltham transmitter (near Melton Mowbray), and 101.4FM comes from the Drum Hill transmitter near Little Eaton in Derbyshire.

The station is also available on DAB.
