NMR stood for North Midlands Radio, which broadcast to north Derbyshire from 1987 to the mid 1990's (last heard in 1993).

Format was recent and old pop music and free radio info

Main DJ was Steve St John, but occasionally other DJs were heard. In addition, historical Airchecks from offshore pirates of the 1960s were sometimes broadcast. Occasionally, relays of pirate radio stations of the time (eg NLV Radio of Keighley, West Yorkshire) were aired.

Programmes are understood to have been mostly pre-recorded

Signal often reached Clowne.
