Fun Kids is unique – a radio station for children.
Broadcasting on DAB Digital Radio across the UK online and through mobile apps, we provide dedicated programming for tweens, younger children and their families.
Since this first original concept though, Fun Kids has evolved into a popular children’s brand that is truly multi-platform.
Our listeners don’t see us as just a radio station and we don’t want them to. Whether it’s interacting with the website, downloading our podcasts, playing on the Fun Kids apps, watching our latest videos or simply listening in the car with their family, Fun Kids is something children engage with anytime, anywhere on any device.
As such we regularly work with leading children’s brands in sectors that range from publishing to television and toys to video games, providing them with numerous ways for clients to reach and engage children and their families.

And here’s a quick overview of the ways Fun Kids communicates with children:
- Radio
The programming is targeted at tween audiences (6 to 12 year olds) but also includes content for younger children in our Fun Kids Junior section.
Music, games, facts, competitions and silliness define the station. Fun Kids is consistently recognised as being at the top of its game having won the Sony Radio Academy Awards for ‘Best Digital Radio Station’ twice – no mean feat when it’s up against 6Music or Planet Rock. Its Breakfast presenter won ‘Best Newcomer’ at the Sonys and it’s been nominated as Best Station in both the Sony and Arqiva awards. It’s gone on to win further Arqiva awards for it’s branded content.
- Online
The brand’s website – funkidslive.com – is a constantly updated entertainment website for tweens. With news, competitions, quizzes, games and facts – it’s a destination for over 251,000 visitors each month. With banners, integrated content and paid-for competitions, there’s loads of great ways partners can get involved.
