Welcome Hospital Radio Plymouth provides entertainment to the patients of Derriford Hospital, The Royal Eye Infirmary and the wider community through our radio station and Showstage facilities. We are one of only 5 Hospital Radio Stations across the UK that have an FM licence meaning we broadcast music, interviews and news 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 87.7FM, Cable Channel 1. and on Patientline. Every member of Hospital Radio Plymouth is a volunteer with skills covering presenting, administration, engineering and production. This has been the case since we began in 1969, and we are proud of our history and sustained success over the years. We are the current holders of the Station Of The Year title, having fought off competition from hospital radio stations from around the country at the 2008 HBA Awards. We encourage listeners to get in touch with us either to request music or to give us feedback on the shows. We realise that this can be tricky sometimes if you are in hospital, so all presenters are allocated a ward to visit to gather together such requests. We also have a dedicated request programme. With a comprehensive music library encompassing many genres and decades, we will always do our best to play you either the exact piece of music requested, or, if unavailable something similar. To find out what shows we broadcast, visit the schedule. If you would like to know what events we have coming up, visit news and events.
