Citizens' Radio was a radio station in Hong Kong established by pro-democracy camp figure Tsang Kin Shing. The station ran as a non-profit organization. It started trial broadcasting on 3 October 2005 on 102.8 MHz FM. The regular broadcasting hours were 7:00 pm–12:00 pm from Monday to Friday. The station ceased to operate on 30 June 2023, with Tsang saying that the station had had trouble inviting guests in view of "so many red lines"  an apparent reference to national security legislation  enacted in 2020, and that due to the blocking of a bank account for receiving donations, the station would be unable to pay rent beyond August.
