THE
SAINTS MARCH ON TO PROMOTION
It may be too early in the football season to talk of promotion
but that is just what this group of youngsters are doing.........promoting
BHBN
When a donation was made to the
Northfield Saints F.C. Under 9's team towards their kit, it was on condition
that the BHBN Hospital Radio logo be printed on the shirts to raise public
awareness of the network.
BHBN's Technical Controller and Director David Horton is the teams Manager
and a founding member of the club. His son Adam Horton, a member of
the
BHBN sports team is his assistant
The team competes in the Central
Warwicks League and is in a division with ten other teams, so as they travel
around the West Midlands on Sunday mornings during the football season they
will be promoting BHBN with the networks logo
resplendent on their shirts.

NEW
STUDIO 1
3 HAS
BECOME 1
The old Studio 3 previously a 'Talk
Studio' has been refurbished and has been promoted to STUDIO 1.
On the 12th & 13th August 2010 David
Boulton & Lee Beech from PSquared Ltd
worked tirelessly to install the new furniture and a Sonifex S2 broadcast
desk into the studio. The first "test" programmes were broadcast on
19th August 2010, THE THURSDAY TEATIME SHOW & THE THURSDAY EVENING SHOW.
The new studio is being dedicated to the
memory of a long serving member and
Hon. Secretary, Dave Tysoe who died in February
The opinion of the membership is that it
certainly has the WOW! factor. Below are some photographs of Chris Friday
presenting his evening show

GREAT
MIDLANDS FUN RUN
6th
JUNE 2010
Sunday 6th June 2010 saw the Great
Midlands Fun Run take place again. Several BHBN member's took part in
varying capacities. Dave Elliott was there at the start/finish to see the
runner's on their way and on their return. Debbie, Kelly and Paul actually
took part in the run and once again turned in a satisfying time. In Sutton
Park Andy Day, Bob Bartlett, Chris Friday, Dave & Adam Horton and Bill
Waldron manned the bus giving out encouragement and playing music in
association with BIG CITY RADIO to help the weary runner's, whilst raising
funds and public awareness for the station.
OUR THANKS GO TO BIG CITY RADIO FOR
THE USE OF THEIR BUS
  
One important mention must go to Dave
Tysoe. Dave had been actively involved with the GMFR for a long time before
he sadly passed away earlier this year. He will be sadly missed for all
sorts of reasons. He would have loved being there
A CHANGE OF PROGRAMMES
ON
BHBN HOSPITAL RADIO
New programmes include
The Tamla Motown Show, with Dave
Horton Friday evenings at 10pm. Also at 2pm on a Sunday
David Elliots Chartoppers
features the number one hits of some of the biggest acts such as ABBA,
Rolling Stones, Elton John, The Beatles and Elvist Presley.
BUBBA the LOUNGE HOUND
presents
Elevator Zone Weekdays at 3pm an hour of
Elevator, Test Card, TV Commercial and all types of Cocktail,
Space Age Pop and Kitch Instrumental Music, with lots of facts,
information and trivia about the music played in.. THE
ELEVATOR ZONE - WHERE THE MUSIC GIVES YOU A LIFT
Our 8pm - 10pm slot has been renamed and
is now the EVENING SHOW.
The previous name Network Choice was so called because it was primarily the
phone-in request and dedication show, however the escalating cost of
telephone calls from hospital telephones reduced the number of calls made
from the wards to trickle, and because of greater security in the Hospitals
our teams of presenters are prohibited from visiting wards after evening
visiting times to encourage patients to listen and contact the programmes,
therefore the name became irrelevant.
With a varied menu of features from a
different presenters each night we hope the patients enjoy BHBN's
Evening
Show.
As always there are still opportunities
for Patients, Friends and Relatives and Hospital Staff to contact the
programme for requests and dedications, by telephone,
text and email.
