DXRD (711 AM) Sonshine Radio is a radio station owned and operated by Swara Sug Media Corporation. It serves as the flagship station of Sonshine Radio, the radio arm of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. The station's studio is located at the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound, Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway, Catitipan, Davao City, while transmitter is located at Atis St., Brgy. Panacan, Davao City.[2][3][4][5][6]

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.[7]
