Who are BHBNradio? • BHBNradio was founded in 1952 by Hon. Alderman Mrs Freda Cocks OBE as the Birmingham Hospitals Commentaries Association (BHCA). • BHBNradio broadcasts to the patients at the Queen Elizabeth, Women’s, City, Heartlands, Good Hope, Solihull & Royal Orthopaedic Hospitals. The station is a registered charity (charity number: 514775) and exist to make a patients stay in hospital be as good as it can be. • Our Online listener base was vital during the Covid19 pandemic as the only way a patient in Birmingham’s Hospitals could reach a family member or loved one. • BHBNradio also broadcast online via our website at www.BHBN.net and on our own and FREE to download mobile Apps on IOS and Android. • We provide a mixture of popular music, local and important Health News about the Birmingham Hospitals as well as interviews and the national headlines. • We love interviewing local people which includes our Birmingham Hospitals Healthcare Heroes, politicians, but also ordinary folk who have a story to tell. • However, we have also had household names on air such as Brian Blessed, Jeffrey Daniel from R&B Group Shalamar and Leee John from Imagination to name but a few. • We are actively involved with the Birmingham Hospitals Community and provide an outside broadcast at the Annual Great Midlands Fun Run, attended by 2,800 people.

What our listeners say
“
My stay in hospital was very boring, until I found BHBN on the Hospital Radio next to my bed. I thought I would tune in and give it a try... I find it great as they play music I enjoy and made the time go that little bit faster! My favourite show is BHBN Gold with Colin Monnaf, and I also enjoy the Elevator Zone with Bubba the Loungehoun. BHBN sport is also handy pn Saturday afternoons as it keeps you updated. I tune in around the early evening if I’m not too tired.
“ “
All in all, I would advise anyone to try it and give them a call, as they are always willing to play your requests! Listener Katie

I was introduced to BHBN Hospital Radio quite some time ago by Donna Joseph, my neighbour and one of the station’s presenters. I am 89 years old and have not been able to get out of the house for several years. Hospital Radio is now my constant companion on the Internet - I listen every day to something often at 4- 5 hours at a stretch. Everyone is a favourite. I would just like to say to all the presenters, and others involved, is thankyou all. They do a wonderful job.
