KGH Radio

KGH Radio broadcasts from a studio inside Kettering General Hospital, bringing patients, staff, friends and families into the same listening community. Known formally as Kettering Hospital Radio, it is a registered charity. Its service runs throughout the day and places music and personal dedications at the centre of its relationship with the hospital.

Listeners can send a dedication for someone receiving care, providing a direct link between the wards and people outside. Presented programmes include a morning show and entertainment supported by local businesses. The station also publishes a magazine, giving its audience another way to meet the organisation and follow the work taking place behind the microphone.

The team includes chair Steve Bellamy, presenter and trustee Wendy Scott, and engineer Clive Fone. A Big Quiz Night brought the hospital community together to raise money for both the station and Dementia UK, extending the event's benefit beyond broadcasting. A separate monthly quiz has offered a restaurant meal donated by The Raj, while Bailey's Travel supports the Morning Show. These examples show the different ways local businesses and volunteers contribute to the station's entertainment and fundraising.

Quizzes and fundraising events help sustain the service, with community supporters contributing prizes and sponsorship. These local connections complement the station's hospital role rather than replacing it. KGH Radio brings together the people using Kettering's healthcare facilities and those supporting them, using familiar music and messages to make that relationship audible.
