Northsound Radio commenced broadcasting at 6am on the 27th of July 1981 from its original studios, which were in an old schoolhouse on Kings Gate, near Anderson Drive in the city. The original schedule only broadcast from 6am-8pm daily.
In 1995 the station split its services to become Northsound 1 and Northsound 2. Both stations now also broadcast on DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting – i.e. Digital Radio).
Northsound 1's main 96.9 FM transmitter is located at Durris, near Stonehaven. It also broadcasts on 97.6 FM from the Balgownie transmitter covering north Aberdeen, and on 103.0 FM from Stirling Hill covering the Peterhead area.
