Hospital Radio Plymouth

The station holds a long term restricted service licence granted by Ofcom, allowing it to broadcast on FM.

In 1967, requests began to be collected from Mount Gould Hospital by the Plymouth Lions Club, forming the basis of the first weekly music programme, Disc Date.

On 2 October 1969, the station secured its first permanent premises on the Barbican and was officially opened as Hospital Radio Plymouth by Alderman George Creber, the then Lord Mayor.

Patients can make requests directly to the studio from their mobile phones using an app or via the website.

The station broadcasts live from Home Park with match day commentary on 107.3fm around the hospital site.

Sally Box was given the Silver Award in the Speech section for her reading of the book Casper The Commuting Cat.

Josh Andrews was named HBA Volunteer of the Year, Josie Scobling received the silver award for Best Speech Package, Isobel King received a Highly Commended Award for Best Female Presenter and Josh Andrews was commended for Best Newcomer.
