Radio Royal

Radio Royal is the broadcasting service of the Forth Valley Broadcasting Service, a Scottish charity. Its identity combines hospital radio with a wider service for listeners across the Forth Valley. Music, requests and volunteer presentation are central, retaining a personal connection with patients while reaching the surrounding community.

The Patients' Choice Show brings requests from hospital wards into the programme, with volunteers visiting patients to hear their musical choices. Other editions include The Healthy Breakfast Show, Instrumental Hour and The Darcy Discography. This variety gives presenters room to introduce different kinds of music rather than relying on one narrowly defined selection.

Andrew Priestly presents the rock show, including concert recordings, while John Collins explores American country and also hosts the Royal Yacht's smoother rock selections. Gail Hamilton's Millennial Music Show concentrates on releases from 2000 onwards. Alan Roberts builds programmes around a chosen subject, and Kirsty Somerville combines music-world conversation with records across decades. Ryan Miller and Julie Ann Lough are among the voices associated with the station's love-song programmes.

Requests and dedications offer listeners a direct way to take part, and the station invites new members to join its team. Its Forth Valley information includes weather for local towns and health-related notices alongside wider news. Radio Royal's charitable role and patient contact supply a distinctive purpose for the entertainment, connecting individual musical memories with company and local involvement.
