=== Media === [[File:DC Thomson Dundee Meadowside south east face (post refurb).jpg|thumb|Dundee Headquarters of [[DC Thomson]] & Co.]] Dundee is home to DC Thomson & Co. Ltd, established in 1905, which produces over 200 million magazines, newspapers and comics every year; these include ''[[The Beano]]'', ''[[The Dandy]]'' and ''[[The Press and Journal]]''.<ref name="Discover Dundee Retail" /> Dundee is home to one of eleven [[BBC Scotland]] broadcasting centres, located within the Nethergate Centre.<ref name="Contact numbers for BBC Scotland">{{harvnb|Contact numbers for BBC Scotland }}</ref> [[STV North]]'s Tayside news and advertising operations are based in the Seabraes area of the city, from where an ''STV News Tayside'' opt-out bulletin is broadcast, (though not on Digital Satellite), within the nightly regional news programme, ''[[STV News at Six]]''. The city also had a community internet TV station called The Dundee Channel which was launched on 1 September 2009. Dundee formerly had three local radio stations that were based in the city. Radio Tay was launched on 17 October 1980.<ref name="Radio Tay's first day">{{harvnb|Radio Tay's first day }}</ref> The station split frequencies in January 1995, launching [[Tay FM]] for a younger audience and Tay AM playing classic hits (now called [[Greatest Hits Radio Tayside & Fife]]). Neither Tay FM or Greatest Hits Radio are based within the city of Dundee, with their only locally targeted show (Tay FM breakfast) being broadcast from a Bauer studio in Edinburgh. In 1999, Discovery 102 was launched, later to be renamed [[Wave 102]] following a claim by [[The Discovery Channel]] that the station could mistakenly be linked to its brand. The station was further rebranded to Wave FM and Pure Radio. The 102FM frequency now carries a relay of Aberdeen-based radio station [[Original 106 (Scotland)]] which features news, content and commercials tailored for Tayside.
