Livingston radio

Livingston is a town in West Lothian, with neighbourhoods and local facilities serving an audience from across the surrounding area. Healthcare, shopping, employment and community activity bring together people whose relationship with the town differs from one another. Broadcasting based in Livingston can recognise those connections through a locally defined audience and contributions from the community. Music requests, interviews and information about local organisations provide ways to involve listeners. A hospital service may connect patients and their families with the same entertainment at home, while outdoor activities can introduce its team to a wider public. Voluntary work and local support often help turn those relationships into continuing programmes. St John's Hospital provides a Livingston base for programmes reaching patients and the people around them. Requests collected within the hospital can introduce individual musical choices, while roadshows and gala days connect volunteers with the wider West Lothian community. These activities bring an institutional audience and local public occasions into the same network of contributors and supporters.
