Mid Downs Radio celebrates nearly 50 years of Hospital Broadcasting!

From small beginnings in a broom cupboard at Cuckfield Hospital,(with a converted caravan for events), to a much larger storage room turned into two Radio Studios at the Princess Royal, (and a beautifully decorated and professional events unit).  That sums up where history has taken us over the years.

​

Thanks to the MDR Committees (past and present), fundraising teams and support from the Mid Sussex community at all our events and the Lottery Commission, plus BSUH Hospital Board, League of Friends of the PRH andHurstwood Park Neurological Centre, local councils and businesses, we have continued to improve our standards over the years.

 

We have really up to date equipment in both the studios, (new Myriad computer system), and the Outside Events Unit, (new PA and mic system). 

​

With pre-recorded programmes joining the live shows, we can be heard 24hrs a day, 365 days a year, with a variety of music, chat, news and Hospital/Health information.  We feature specialist programmes such ascelebrity/local interest interviews from Wendy on Wednesday afternoons.  

​

The Passive Speaker system in the waiting areas, including the RVS shop and the League of Friends coffee shop, staff personal radios and on-line means that we become the most listenedto radio station in our corner of Mid Sussex.

 

So, the future is looking bright for Mid Downs Radio, come and join us!
