This is the general timetable, it may be subject to change at the last minute to take into account illness etc.

Ruddles The Bear is our "off air" DJ. When no-ones around to do a show, Ruddles plays BBC Radio 2. Ruddles is currently being trained to operate Myriad radio automation software and as soon as we have enough tracks on it to make it a viable option, he will play during the "off air" periods, making Epsom Hospital a 24 hour radio station.

From the archives...

In June 2009 We cleared out a storage cupboard in our studio complex, with the intention of turning it into a new server room for the 24 hour project as it neared completion. During the the clear out, we discovered a folder of old press cuttings, mostly from about 1980 to 1985. The press cuttings looked to be in a sorry state, so the decission was taken to scan them to preserve them digitally forever.

Having scanned them and lifted all of the text from the pages, is wasn't much more effort to put them on the website. So here is a little look into the past at Epsom Hospital Radio, or Radio EDH as it was then known, and how previous volunteers recuited volunteers and raised money.

Some newspaper articles specifically about the Epsom Hospital Radio schedule, mainly over the Christmas period. There are many more articles on the History and Becomes A Presenter / Donate pages of this website, where the issue of scheduling comes up in an article about our radio station.
