Tay FM is one of Tayside's best-known commercial radio stations, serving Dundee, Perth and the wider area with Bauer's mix of current hits, familiar throwbacks, competitions, local news and travel. The station launched as Radio Tay in 1980, so it has proper local heritage rather than being just another name slapped onto a national radio feed.

The station's music format is built around mainstream chart songs and throwbacks from recent decades, giving it a broad everyday sound for listeners at work, in the car or at home. Its local value comes from the Dundee and Perth connection: people searching for Tay FM are often looking for Tayside radio, local news, weather, travel updates and a familiar station name they already know.

Tay FM now shares much of its presenter line-up with Bauer's wider Scottish radio network, but the station still has a clear regional role through its FM coverage, local news, local advertising and long-running Radio Tay identity. That is the angle worth leaning into: Dundee, Perth, Tayside, local familiarity and the convenience of listening live online.
