BHBN Radio’s 70th Anniversary Marks Another Platinum Jubilee for 2022

It’s not only Her Majesty the Queen marking a 70-year Jubilee in 2022. To mark its 70^th Year Jubilee, BHBN Radio is embarking on its biggest ever quest to commemorate the legacy of the Second City’s hospitals and their importance in the community across the West Midlands. We are asking patients, hospital staff and the general public to help us construct an oral history of the six hospitals BHBN Radio reaches! 

SHARE YOUR HOSPITAL MEMORIES

Do you have a story about the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Women’s Hospital, The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Heartlands, Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield or Solihull Hospital? We want to hear it! 

Simply record a voice note on WhatsApp to be sent to 07981 026836 (add this number to your contacts before sending it via WhatsApp). Or alternatively, you can write your memories in an email to 70years@bhbn.net and we at BHBN Radio will voice it for you. We need your submissions by 30^th September 2022, but the sooner, the better. Audio submissions should be no longer than 5 minutes in length.

CELEBRATIONS

The on-air celebrations start now, building up to a whole month’s worth of celebrations in November 2022 – which will include a 36-hour live broadcast, programmes from famous former broadcasters and community events, including a live music event at Herbert’s Yard, Longbridge Town Centre. Keep informed via our Facebook @BHBN and Twitter @BHBNradio accounts.

If you would like your submission to be anonymous, it is imperative that you email 70years@bhbn.net and inform us of your story, the time and date you sent it in to BHBN Radio so we can edit this for you.

BHBN Radio’s 70th Anniversary Marks Another Platinum Jubilee for 2022

It’s not only Her Majesty the Queen marking a 70-year Jubilee in 2022. BHBN Radio is also marking its 70^th anniversary of broadcasting to Birmingham’s Hospitals.

Rewind the clock seven decades, to a pub in Moseley in 1952, and what became BHBN was formed to keep patients at the Yardley Green Sanatorium, (now part of Heartlands Hospital), satisfied with live football and cricket commentaries, which is something the Network continues to this day!

BHBN President Robert Bartlett said, “BHBN is built on community and providing comfort and a friend for everyone from patients, to the everyday person sitting at home and looking for something more personal and familiar than commercial radio. So, we’re inviting the community to get involved and share their stories, because what we do is all about them, and it’s a community celebration as much as a celebration for BHBN Radio.”

Come along and help us celebrate this special year
