Ayr Hospital Radio

Charity registered in Scotland SC050000

We are one of Scotland's oldest hospital radio stations and are sorely run by a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers.

We have been providing entertainment in Ayrshire since 1953 under the name Ayr Hospitals Relay Radio. We started at Somerset Park, the home of Ayr United Football Club broadcasting football commentaries and playing music before the match and at half-time.In 1981, a three-and-a-half hour music programme started on Sundays.

We now broadcast from within University Hospital Ayr which has been our home since 1990.

More recently, in 2018 we upgraded our studio to a state-of-the-art modern digital studio working with industry leading manufacturers such as local company Clyde Broadcast and Broadcast Radio thus allowing us to continue providing a service for the people of Ayrshire, the local community and beyond for years to come.

We are here to help lift the mood and aid the recovery of inpatients at Ayr and Biggart Hospitals. We bring a friendly and local sound and have a variety of presenters playing all styles of music from the Golden Oldies to the One-Hit-Wonders and the Modern Day Hits

We broadcast over the internet allowing us to reach the local community and anywhere around the world. Listen Live here on our website or via the TuneIn app on your mobile phone or tablet
