Valley Park Radio

Valley Park Radio is the hospital radio service associated with Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford. Its continuous broadcast can be heard by patients through the bedside entertainment facilities and by a wider audience using the station's own player. The service's local identity combines this hospital connection with an extensive schedule of music and presented programmes.

Clive's Morning Request Show welcomes familiar and newer music choices, while Ken Brown's Virtual Box of Chocolates offers a broad selection that includes requests. Foxy's Rock Revolutions provides a more specialist direction, and A to Z of Pop takes an alphabetical approach to its musical subject. Separate decade strands also give space to music from the 1990s and 2000s.

Mark Campbell's programme combines birthday mentions with ornithology news, a classical music spot and the continuing serial The Hidden Secret of Minster Abbey. Alun Evans and Traviss Whitehead contribute Sports Chat on the first Monday of the month. Robin's Miscellany changes its theme from one edition to the next, while George Gregory presents Anything, Everything, All at Once. Such individual features give the timetable a character shaped by its contributors rather than a single repeated playlist.

Sport conversation, themed shows and general entertainment add variety beyond the music-only periods. Listeners can send a studio message or request, helping connect the presenters' individual interests with the hospital audience. Valley Park's combination of direct participation and distinct programme personalities provides a Dartford-focused alternative to a uniform national music service.
