Hospital Radio Chelmsford

Hospital Radio Chelmsford broadcasts for patients at Broomfield Hospital and people beyond the hospital setting. Its service includes music, news, interviews and conversation, with requests providing a direct link to individual listeners. The station also identifies people caring in the community as part of its audience, extending its healthcare interest beyond those currently on a ward.

Named programmes give the music selection several different directions. Cosy Up with Cas draws on easy-going records from different decades, while Nice n Easy and Every Song a Memory emphasise familiar listening. Great American Country adds a specialist country strand, and other presented shows create room for the interests and personalities of the station's contributors.

Cas Seaton presents Cosy Up with Cas, and Dave Hurrell is associated with both Nice n Easy and Every Song a Memory. Alan Sword follows country music in Great American Country, while Alan Chambers contributes Bedrock. Roy Thomas' Feel Good Friday, Dave Daniels' Saturday Show and John Barker in the Morning bring further voices to the programme. Together these named strands provide several different choices for listeners seeking music and company during a hospital stay or while caring at home.

The broadcast runs around the clock and can be heard free of charge. Patients and relatives can submit requests through the station's contact routes, including voice or text messages, allowing a dedication to accompany the chosen music. Its particular mix of general entertainment and specialist shows gives the Broomfield audience more variety than an uninterrupted background playlist.
