This is True Radio. We play Proper Good Music, and we don’t really care if your neighbors agree.

The Origin Story

True Radio was founded in 2020 because two radio nerds, Chris and David, decided that building a station from scratch sounded easier than it actually is. Chris brought his years at Stray FM to the table, while David brought a background in commercial radio and a slightly worrying obsession with broadcast tech.

Against all better judgment, they launched a station built on one simple idea; playing music that actually deserves to be heard (and a few songs that probably don't).

The 2026 Evolution

In 2026, we decided it was time for an upgrade. This wasn't just a bit of maintenance; it was an evolution with attitude. We’ve overhauled the engine, sharpened the sound, and tried to fix most of the things we broke the first time around. We’ve grown up a bit, but we haven’t lost our edge - or our habit of playing that one song you forgot you loved (and another you’ve spent ten years trying to forget).

Proper Good Music (Mostly)

We call our playlist Proper Good Music, but let's be honest; we’ve been known to throw in the occasional guilty pleasure that has no business being on the airwaves. We spend far too much time hand-picking tunes that make you want to turn the volume up, rather than reaching for the "off" button. As for our presenters, they aren't just voices in a box; they’re real people bringing their own unique flair, questionable jokes, and occasional technical mishaps to your day.

Who’s In Charge?

True Radio is owned and operated by True Media Group Ltd. Being an independent outfit gives us the freedom to keep things personal and stay focused on what you actually want to hear. We’re dedicated to high broadcasting standards and, more importantly, providing a genuine alternative for people who just want a decent soundtrack to their day.

We do this because we love it - and because we’re not qualified to do much else.
