Facts

DevonAir Radio Limited, originally incorporated as Radio Haldon (28 February 1979 – 31 December 1979), was officially established under its current name in 1980. The station became a cherished part of South West broadcasting history, serving Exeter, East Devon, and Torbay, South Devon. In 1987, it underwent a change in ownership when it was acquired by Capital Radio. DevonAir ceased broadcasting in 1994 following a reallocation of its frequencies to Gemini Radio, which later became part of the Heart network. Despite the station’s closure, DevonAir Radio Limited remains an active registered company (Company Number: 01417361). Its registered office is: 30 Leicester Square, London, WC2H 7LA. Full official records are available via Companies House. Please note: This website is solely focused on the historical legacy of DevonAir Radio Limited (01417361).
