Matt Deegan, creative director of Folder Media, which owns Fun Kids, said the station's time on national DAB had "done its job" and there was no reason why listeners who had been listening through national DAB wouldn't listen on its other platforms.
The station also plans to develop partnerships with children's brands such as Dennis the Menace.
Deegan said Digital One, which operates a national DAB platform, was "good value for what you get" and he would consider returning to the platform next summer. It is not known how much Fun Kids paid Digital One for space on its platform.
He added: "Digital stations will not grow by just existing. If no one knows the station exists, no one will listen. We spend as much time on marketing as we do on programming. You've got to go out and grab people to listen to the station."
