24 Hour Project.
It has been coming, but the finishing post for the first stage of the 24 hour project is in sight.
For many years we have been playing BBC Radio 2 when no-one is around to do a show, however, come August, when the presenters go home we'll be playing Epsom Hospital Radio.
There will be your favourite hits 24 hours a day, with the latest news headlines from Sky News Radio and information about Epsom General Hospital and services provided about the organisations and charities within the hospital.
The radio automation software called Myriad will also be introduced into our studio, with the purchase of some touch screen monitors and some extra faders for our desk and will replace Chris Springs Cart Player which has served the station well for many years.
As an essential aid to presenters, this will make it easier for them to find and play requested songs, jingles and other interesting content.
This will mark the completion of the first stage of the 24 hour project, the second stage will then begin, raising money to build a second studio to help presenters prerecord full shows to go out when no-one is around.
