Welcome to Hospital Radio Colchester
Our studios are housed on the hospital site at South Lodge, Turner Road in Colchester and our programmes are delivered to the hospitals via wires. We also have remote broadcast facilities at Colchester United Football Club and the Chapel at Colchester General Hospital.
We have around 30 staff who work for us on a voluntary capacity. Our volunteers visit patients in the hospitals, carry out management and engineering work, and are studio presenters - everybody gives their time freely and nobody is paid for their work.
Hospital Radio Colchester has to raise all the funds ourselves to keep the radio station on air to the people in Colchester Hospitals. That means raising at least £7000 per year just to continue broadcasting.
Hospital Radio Colchester has been providing special radio programmes to patients in Colchester and surrounding areas since December 1963 when HRC was officially launched - programmes to hospitals in Colchester date back as far as 1953.
