Radio Clatterbridge

[2] The station notably carried the earliest surviving recorded broadcast interview with the Beatles.

As an aid to providing some vital rest and recuperation, the boys decided to visit sick patients at Clatterbridge General Hospital.

The idea was so popular that it soon became possible to buy permanent gramophones and "broadcast" the songs back to the patients, via a simple land-line system.

Presenter Monty Lister recorded the first broadcast interview with a new up-and-coming band, called The Beatles in 1962.

Digital technology was first introduced during the late 1980s, as the station (now equipped with two studios) began playing its first CDs!

A series of successful community grant applications enabled Radio Clatterbridge to fit a new studio for the new millennium.
