Diamond Radio

Diamond Radio was a pirate radio station broadcasting from Ilkeston, and could be heard in parts of East Derbyshire and West Nottinghamshire, Diamond Radio was part of the Derbyshire Free Radio Union.

History
Diamond Radio was launched in 1981, and competed with the newly launched Amber Sound 2 in Heanor, where Radio Atlantis was formerly based. Diamond Radio went through minor raids form 1983 to 1985, until one big raid took the station off the air in 1988.

Some former staff of Diamond Radio are fictionally involved in the new community radio station Erewash Sound.

Jingles
Diamond Radio would have jingles sung for them until 1986, when they used Alfasound jingles originally produced for Southern Sound, which were never aired due to the said station rejecting the package. Until that time, Diamond Radio used generic Alfasound jingles.
