The team at Hospital Radio Chelmsford have been working very hard to prepare for our 50th celebrations.
This week we started a series of programmes to celebrate each of the years we have been on air. The programme name, Golden Years, which has been used many times and in different guises throughout our history. Dave Hurrell kicked this new series off, with the highlights of 1964 and 65. These programmes look at the music, news, and history of Hospital Radio Chelmsford.
The new show is to be broadcast each Sunday, and repeated throughout the week. Each programme is 2 hours long and looks at 2 years.
We are already looking to make these shows available on our website, for you to enjoy at anytime. More details soon.
On the subject of our website, we hope you agree that the new look and feel is a great improvement. One of the new features we have added, is for anyone to be able to record a message or music dedication for someone in Broomfield Hospital, for us to play during the VIP Request Show. Please check out the On Air section of our website.
Finally, we have been digging through the archives to find audio from our past. We came across this glorious documentary from the late 70's, that discusses the importance of Hospital Radio in comparison with the BBC and commercial radio.
These days, the competition for listeners attention is even greater with many more radio and TV stations plus access to the internet to fill every other void. However, it's heartening to know that the very reason why we started back in 1964 has not been lost. The values we hold so dear are still at the centre of what we do. So please enjoy this great piece of audio.
