(Chinese: 新城廣播有限公司) is one of the three broadcasting corporations in Hong Kong, the others being Commercial Radio Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港商業電台) and Radio Television Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港電台). Metro was founded on 1 July 1991 and under the Hong Kong-listed Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited and Hutchison Whampoa Limited now.
Metro Radio Hong Kong, founded by its first Managing Director, Craig Quick, consists of six radio channels; Metro Finance (FM104), Metro Info (FM99.7), Metro Plus (AM 1044), Metro Finance Digital (DAB+), Metro Music Digital (DAB+) and Metro Life Digital (DAB+). Metro also offers multimedia broadcasting service through mobile phones, via the mobile phone service provider 3 Mobile. In addition, Metro offers eSHOP, an online shopping website.
In 2003, Metro was granted a 12-year radio broadcasting license by the Hong Kong Government in accordance with the Telecommunication Ordinance. This is due to expire in 2016. Metro Radio is the only commercial radio station in Hong Kong that broadcasts in AM, FM and DAB+.
In 1990 the Hong Kong government reformed radio broadcasting regulations, allowing the introduction of a third radio station. It released the license to Metro Radio.
