Hospital Radio Tunbridge Wells is a special in house radio station,
providing programmes twenty four hours a day, 7 days each week to
the patients of the Kent and Sussex and Tonbridge Cottage hospitals.
The output of the station can be heard across the hospitals at patient's
bedsides and, in some wards, through speakers.
We are a registered charity based in Tunbridge Wells, with approximately
forty active members who are dedicated to making the patient's stay
in hospital a little more pleasant. We produce a number of varied
programmes, which both entertain and inform, ranging from request
shows to weekly magazine shows with news, sport and features. The
music policy varies to meet all tastes from hymns and classical
music to the latest chart and easy listening music.
Should you wish to request a particular song, please call our studio
hotline on 01892 528528 at any time. During our broadcasting hours
your call will be taken in person, while at other times of the day
or night, you may leave a message on our answering service. However
most wards are visited at least once a week by our request collectors.
We broadcast from our premises in the grounds of the Kent and Sussex
Hospital in Tunbridge Wells. The studios took six years to equip
and were funded by events held by station volunteers and through
funding from local businesses. We are extremely grateful to the
local shops and businesses who have supported our events and, because
of their help, we managed to raise in excess of fifty-five thousand
pounds.
