Hospital Radio
From Media UK's The Knowledge. Last update: 20:38, 2 May 2005 by Andrew Garner.
Hospital Radio stations provide radio entertainment to patients in hospitals.
Most stations are on closed-loop wires and can only be heard inside the hospital wards on headphones or speakers next to the patient's bed. There are a few stations using AM or FM free-to-air transmission.
Run by volunteers, some stations broadcast for only a few hours each week, with others using computer technology to provide their service 24 hours a day.
