Tay 2 split its services/frequencies to become Tay AM and Tay FM. Both stations now also broadcast on DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting – i.e. Digital Radio) and over the internet via their respective websites. Tay 2 broadcasts on 1161 AM in Dundee and 1584 AM in Perth, and is more "golden oldie" than its sister station Tay FM, playing more classic hits from the past few decades, along with some of the more easy listening of modern-day offerings.

The current SSSI was notified in August 1999 and extends to 4,115 hectares or thereby. Scottish
