Radio Tyneside

Radio Tyneside is a charity providing a radio service to hospitals and the wider community in Newcastle and Gateshead. That dual role is central to its identity. The organisation describes a live programme for people throughout the area while maintaining a connection to patients who can hear the station in hospital. Its official website offers live listening, a programme schedule, a journal and selected shows to hear again. This is a North East community service with a distinctive hospital radio heritage.

The schedule brings together different presenters, music and programmes shaped for local listeners. The broadcaster's current pages include a mix of daytime shows and specialist slots, while its people pages introduce those who make the service. It also carries features and interviews after broadcast. A patient, a visitor or someone listening at home may approach Radio Tyneside for different reasons, yet they hear a station with the same community purpose. This breadth is difficult to express with one narrow genre label.

Newcastle and Gateshead form a connected urban area, but they are not interchangeable with the whole North East. Radio Tyneside's hospital service and community coverage give it a reason to be listed separately from other stations serving Tyne and Wear. Its charity status and supporter pages show how the broadcaster sustains that role.

The online live player carries what is on air now, including to listeners outside the broadcast area. Listen-again pages are useful when you want a particular special programme or interview instead.
