Klubrádió is a commercial talk and news radio station based in Budapest, Hungary. Klubrádió is often labeled as the voice of the left-liberal opposition. Many on the right and far-right find it important to emphasize what they perceive as the political bias of Klubrádió by pointing to the fact that Klubrádió has hired a liberal politician as a host since 2008. The then-active SZDSZ MP, also former party chairman Gábor Kuncze was the Minister of Interior appointed by the liberal party, SZDSZ. Socialist Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány also hosted once a program on Klubrádió while in office. Klubrádió was started broadcasting in April 1999, as the official radio of the Hungarian Auto Club (HAC). After HAC sold the station to Monográf Zrt, the original programming of the Auto Club changed, and the broadcast format was completely transformed into a talk and news station.

In 2020, Klubrádió submitted an incorrect application for the 92.9 FM frequency application, and due to the negative equity of the joint-stock company, it didn't fit the necessary requirements for the NMHH Media Council's application, therefore the application for 92.9 FM was invalidated. However, they continue operations on the internet.
