DZRD (981 AM) Sonshine Radio was a radio station owned and operated by Swara Sug Media Corporation. The station's studio and transmitter are located along Catacadang Rd., Brgy. Bonuan Gueset, Dagupan.[1][2][3][4]

On mid-December 2023, the station, along with the rest of the network, had its operations suspended by the National Telecommunications Commission for 30 days, through an order dated December 19 but was publicized two days later, in response to a House of Representatives resolution, in relation to the alleged franchise violations.[5]
