Kiss 105 was a dance music radio station based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. It was part of a new breed of regional radio stations as opposed to Independent Local Radio.

History

The licence, covering the

Kiss 100
gave Faze permission to license the name.

The station was launched by Bam Bam at 01:05pm, 14 February 1997 (1997-02-14T01:05pm) and the first track played was 'I Like It (Lisa Marie Vocal Experience)' by Angel Moraes. Most programming came from Leeds but some specialist shows were simulcast on both Kiss stations.

Later in 1997, both stations were sold to

Galaxy 105
as the brand licence required them to relinquish the name.

Technical

A total of four transmitters were used to cover the whole of Yorkshire. The East Riding of Yorkshire is served by 105.8, Sheffield by 105.6, Bradford by 105.6 and a general Yorkshire transmitter on 105.1 FM.
