Southampton Hospital Radio

Welcome to the website of Southampton Hospital Radio. We have been broadcasting to the patients of Southampton continuously since October 1952. You can now listen live, via our link at the top of the page. As of Friday October 27th 2023 all patients can, at long last, enjoy us in stereo on their supplied bedside headphones.

Affiliated to the national Hospital Broadcasting Association (HBA) and serving the hospitals in the UHS Foundation Trust, we provide entertainment to the patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.

The Southampton Hospital Broadcasting Association, the charity that runs Southampton Hospital Radio, was honoured to be awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service on the 2nd June 2012

As well as programmes from our studios, we also produce Outside Broadcasts and Public Address events. One of our regular Outside Broadcasts are live commentaries for all of Southampton FC's men's team home games from St. Mary's Stadium. Due to copyright issues we can only broadcast live football to patients in the hospital via the bedside Hospedia system. During this time, listeners online will still be able to hear our normal day listing programmes.

Please look around our website to see what we have to offer. If you are 18 years old or over and want to get involved, why not join us as a volunteer?
