HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY!<br />
New Forest Hospital Radio celebrates its<br />
40 th anniversary of this year. Broadcasting<br />
24 hours a day from the studio in the<br />
Lymington New Forest Hospital to the<br />
bedside of patients as well as public area<br />
speakers in the hospital.<br />
through a Smart Speaker. We have 50<br />
volunteers who either visit the wards or<br />
present the programmes.<br />
New members are welcome and will be<br />
given thorough training. For more<br />
details please call the studio on 01590<br />
663366 or contact us through the<br />
website.<br />
Programmes are also produced for five<br />
local care homes. <strong>The</strong> cornerstone<br />
programme is the daily two hour request<br />
show , which is broadcast at 7.00pm every<br />
day and repeated at 7.00am and 12.00<br />
noon the next day. Requests are collected<br />
by volunteers who visit the wards every<br />
day discussing what the patient would like<br />
to hear; musical memories are a<br />
wonderful therapy. During the day a wide<br />
variety of music and local interest<br />
programmes are broadcast, designed to<br />
appeal to our listeners. As well as a music<br />
mix, there are programmes dedicated to<br />
Classical Music, Jazz, Sixties, short plays<br />
from the Lymington Players and of course<br />
there are no advertisements.<br />
<strong>The</strong> station output may be heard through<br />
the website www.nfhradio.org.uk or<br />
