Programming purpose and philosophy
We broadcast a range of high-quality radio programmes to Birmingham’s patients and others in the City’s health community. Our programmes are aimed at making a patient’s stay in hospital a more comfortable and less stressful experience than it would otherwise be.

We are patient centred and we focus on the music that patients want to hear and the information that patients need to know about.

Programme Development
Programming is continuing to develop in the early years of the 21st century, and is becoming increasingly ambitious. Our new automated programming system, Myriad P2, enables us to maintain our 24-hour programme schedule, begun in 1994 and major improvements in radio reception facilities continue to be rolled out across the hospitals we serve.  Currently we are upgrading our Broadcast  System that serves the Queen Elizabeth, Selly Oak and Womens Hospitals

About our Information Programmes
Central to the Network’s programming are the information, and sport programmes, as well as live concerts, which bring the life of Birmingham into the hospitals. The Network will not avoid discussing those awkward issues which affect our everyday life. The Network uses the major radio news agencies to provide us with up-to-the-minute news and current features.

Serving our Community’s Needs
Community care announcements produced by the Network continue to promote services for patients like the local ‘Ring and Ride’ service and Department of Work and Pensions benefits. Tips for survival in hospital are often mixed with news and information about our local hospitals. The Network does not avoid informing patients about relevant and important health issues which affect them.

BHBN Hospital Radio   NEWS
When our new 24 hour programme schedule is launched BHBN Hospital Radio will broadcast National and International news on the hour every hour, twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year.

We have a dedicated satellite system on which we receive the service from Independent Radio News (IRN).
  As well as the news bulletins, we are provided with news and sports feeds, interviews and programme packages.

We also receive internet web based services from IRN that are also used in our Sports and Magazine Programmes.
