BHBN Radio Triumphs Again as Station of the Year at Hospital Broadcasting Association Awards

BHBN Radio, a dedicated hospital radio service, was celebrated for its outstanding commitment to providing quality entertainment and comfort to patients and staff.

Since it began in 1952, BHBN Radio has been committed to enhancing the hospital experience through programmes, music, and engaging content, all created and delivered by a team of enthusiastic volunteers, connecting with patients and staff.

“Winning Station of the Year again is a tremendous honour for everyone involved with BHBN Radio,” said Andy Caddick, publicity officer. “It’s a testament to the hard work, dedication and passion our volunteers bring every day. We are proud to create a positive atmosphere for patients and staff alike, and this award motivates us to keep improving.”

The Hospital Broadcasting Association Awards are highly respected within the sector, celebrating excellence and innovation in hospital radio services across the UK. BHBN Radio’s repeated success underscores the significant role hospital radio plays in supporting wellbeing and community spirit.

Up against strong competition the judges described BHBN Radio’s entry “Super high-quality football coverage as well as a range of entertainment and specialist programmes. Loved the interviews with the patients and the stories and memories they shared. A really broad showcase of an excellent station”.

Looking forward, BHBN Radio has expanded its services, introducing a two new request shows for The Midland Metropolitan University Hospital in Smethwick and adding The Harborne Hospital to the list of sites receiving its programming and is working with Birmingham City Council on a citywide outdoor advertising campaign across 27 BT street hubs in Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield, reaching even more listeners, continuing to maintain the warmth and personal touch that has earned them such loyal support.
