I notice that @Ntrl9284 has restored the article that was here, believing the 2022 AfD is now void now that there is a presenter on air most of the time. Is there coverage in reliable sources to indicate that Kiss Dance has standalone notability? That should have been the line of argument, not one of programming.

I probably should have provided a third-party source rather than one from Bauer themselves, but here:
RadioToday is used in nearly every UK radio article as a source.
Only one show on Kiss Dance is re-aired from another station and that is Andi Durrant on Saturdays, which features re-recorded links mentioning the station. Every other show is produced specifically for [and broadcast exclusively on] Kiss dance.
Again, the AfD was put in place specifically due to a lack of programming and lack of search results outside of Kiss' own website. The station is now relayed on various third-party sites, promoted on papers such as the aforementioned Radio Today, is on various major (albeit local) DAB MUXes in the UK (with recent coverage expansion to several more cities), and even has its own annual feature on 'O beach' in Ibiza.
I don't see why the station is any less notable than stations such as Capital Dance or Radio 1 Dance; the latter of which only became an actual DAB station in 2025, despite receiving its own article in 2021.
To quote the exact argument provided in the initial AfD request:
"This station does appear to be on a DAB broadcast multiplex rather than online-only, but I would agree that it needs to be redirected to Kiss Network as suggested, I don't think it has enough of its own original content or programming to justify its own article. The article itself states that programming is "non stop dance music" and it has "no programming", making it a music stream rather than a radio broadcaster", written by Flip Format on 6 August.
