UKRD Group

The UKRD Group Ltd was a British media company that owned 15 commercial radio stations in the United Kingdom.

Formed on 22 August 1990 as a company to invest in commercial stations following the relaxation of station ownership laws, its first investment was a stake in Cornwall's Pirate FM 102, which was designed and launched by former County Sound boss Mike Powell who, after leaving County Sound, had formed Infinity Radio.

UKRD sold its interests in the Kiss stations in 1997 to the Chrysalis Group, who added them to its Galaxy Radio network.

It also had a helping hand in the launch of South Hams Radio in December 1999, which was closed in 2009 to make way for Heart.

UKRD Group's head office was within the Carn Brea Studios of Pirate FM 102 in Redruth, Cornwall.
