Station News
2012 is not only the 40th anniversary of Hospital Radio at Southlands Hospital, it's also the 25th anniversary of our registered charity status (No: 297515).
The service started out as 'Southlands Hospital Broadcasting Service' 40 years ago in January 1972. We became a registered charity in 1987 and since 2004 we've been known as 'Seaside Hospital Radio' when we began broadcasting to Worthing Hospital.

Last month we reported that our broadcast link to Worthing Hospital had been experiencing problems due to a faulty piece of computer equipment. We have successfully replaced the faulty computer, but unfortunately have discovered another seperate issue concerning the audio signal at the Worthing hospital end.
Our engineer is on the case and we are hopeful that after all this time our broadcasts to Worthing hospital will recommence in time for the Christmas programming, as we have a packed schedule lined up this year! Thank you for your patience and kind comments, they are greatly appreciated by all of us at Seaside HR.
