Hospital Radio Colchester is a registered charity which is funded by charitable contributions and the various

fundraising events that we run throughout the year.

We have been in existence for 60 years, and broadcast our services 24/7 to hospital patients across the Colchester area. It is a completely free service, run by volunteers that aims to make a patients stay in hospital a bit more enjoyable.

60th Anniversary

During December 2023 we celebrated our Diamond Anniversary with a series of special events, including a 60 hour continuous broadcast and special programme from Colchester United

Colchester MP Will Quince in the studio with Andy Patrick to kick off the 60 hours live broadcast which featured the Biggest Hits of the past 60 years, along with special guests.

Hospital Radio Colchester was launched on 22nd December 1963 by members of the supporters club at Colchester United. To commemorate we broadcast a special programme live from the Jobserve Community Stadium for the match between Colchester United and Salford City.
