History of Bedrock Radio
Bedrock Radio has a rich heritage spanning over 60 years of serving the community.
Today, we have a broader outreach, broadcasting on DAB digital radio across North East London and South West Essex, while serving multiple hospitals and NHS Trusts. Our charitable objective is to improve the health and well-being of local people and be ‘The Heartbeat Of East London and West Essex’
We are proud to have been one of the first radio services in Romford, where today we’re based in The Cornwall Suite at Queen’s Hospital,
continuing our long tradition of serving the community and local hosptials.
Early Days of Hospital Radio in Havering.
Hospital Radio in East London / South Essex started off as separate Hospital Radio Stations, covering multiple hospitals.
On February 14, 1964, the Warley Hospital Radio service was started by members of an Amateur Film Group, initially with pre-recorded programs.
The station became known as Harold Wood Radio, where the secretary of Harold Wood Hospital gave the station use of rooms located in an underused recreation hall, with cables run from the hall to the wards.
As the station grew and became more established, it changed its name to Harold Wood Hospital Radio (HWHR). The station proudly served Warley Hospital, Brentwood, and later Victoria Cottage Hospital in Romford. Former volunteers even recall that Noel Edmonds was involved with producing programs at the old Victoria Cottage Hospital site. These services continued until the late 1980s, when they were no longer required
After a long and successful run, Harold Wood Radio closed in 2002 to officially form Bedrock Radio.
On April 7, 1969, Radio Rush Green was founded by Brian Lister, with studios located in the porters’ lodge on the grounds of Rush Green Hospital on Dagenham Road.
Patients tuned in to the service using a wired ward system. They would plug their headphones into a jack point in the wall, with a dial that featured a green dot to highlight the exact position for listening. This unique instruction for patients was known as the “The Green Dot Code.”
The station became a vital part of the hospital, broadcasting a range of programs that included local news updates and a popular regular Sunday request show.
On October 19, 1985, Radio Rush Green closed and relaunched as Hospital Radio 174, which began broadcasting to both Oldchurch and Rush Green Hospitals.
In 1985, permission was granted from the Rush Green Hospital managers to link the radio service from Radio Rush Green to the neighbouring Oldchurch Hospital.
On October 20, 1985, Hospital Radio 174 officially launched, serving both hospitals. The studios remained at the Porters Lodge at Rush Green Hospital, with a telephone landline connecting the broadcast to Oldchurch’s bedside radio system.
The station was given its unusual name, ‘Hospital Radio 174,’ after the bus route that serves both hospitals. (The 174 still runs today).
The name was jokingly suggested by the Rush Green Hospital administrator, with the radio volunteers deciding to adopt it as the official name, after asking London Transport if that was okay.
North Street Bus Garage loaned a bus for the launch weekend, which was decorated to advertise the service and ran between the two hospitals in Dagenham and Romford.
In the mid-1980s, Radio 174 also twinned with Krankenhausfunk, Witten (Germany) as part of a town twinning arrangement. Volunteers from both stations exchanged visits to learn more about each other’s services. The visits started as part of Barking and Dagenham councils town twinning arrangements with Witten, which is now one of the oldest town twinning arrangements.
In 1989, with the news that Rush Green Hospital was set to close, the station relocated to the Nurses’ Home at Oldchurch Hospital. The new studios were officially opened in 1993 with a special guest—Brian Lister, the founder of Radio Rush Green.
Hospital Radio 174 closed at the end of 1996, to form Oldchurch Radio.
Station O
At Oldchurch Hospital, a radio service of sorts existed when the late Reverend Norman would “broadcast” services from the hospital chapel.
Known as “Station O,” It’s not clear when the Station O began its broadcasts, however the service ceased in 1980 when the reverend retired.
Oldchurch Radio
In 1996, the volunteers of Hospital Radio 174 agreed to close the service and relaunch as Oldchurch Radio, following the closure of Rush Green Hospital.
The new Oldchurch Radio retained the Radio 174 studios in the nurses block and launched on an 846 AM service, using an induction loop transmitter.
This unique setup allowed the station to broadcast a low-power signal across the hospital, which was particularly useful as much of the patient headset system had broken down.
It was soon discovered that the flats overlooking the hospital were able to listen in and often contacted the studio! The advantage of this was that any AM radio in the hospital could be tuned into Oldchurch Radio.
Oldchurch Radio closed in 2002 to form Bedrock.
2002 - Formation Of Bedrock.
Bedrock was created as a result of a merger, in preparation of the opening of a new hospital.
In 2000, the NHS Trust that operated both Oldchurch and Harold Wood Hospitals decided it wanted a single radio station to serve both sites until the new Queen’s Hospital was completed in 2006.
After much negotiation, the volunteers from both Oldchurch Radio and Harold Wood Hospital Radio came together to create Bedrock. The new organization was officially registered as a charity on June 24, 2002.
Using the former Oldchurch Radio facilities, the newly formed Bedrock AM began broadcasting its first programs on December 1, 2002. The service broadcast to Oldchurch Hospital on 846 AM and used a direct link to a bedside radio system at Harold Wood Hospital.
Bedrock AM – 2002 – 2006
In 2006, broadcasting ceased at Oldchurch Hospital as the newly built Queen’s Hospital officially opened.
The Hospital Trust generously provided Bedrock with three rooms in the aptly named ‘Hospital Radio Corridor’, giving the station a new studio, office, and storeroom.
During this transition, the move from the old nursing block at Oldchurch forced the station off-air while the new facilities were being constructed and wired up. Rather than taking a break, the volunteers used this time to digitize the station’s extensive vinyl collection, creating a large digital library for the new computer system.
While the new studios were being built, Bedrock’s programming was already being delivered to patients. It was plugged into the patient bedside TV systems, run by Premier Telesolutions, with hospital radio as channel one in the limited free entertainment package.
By 2009, the new studio was complete and fully operational. Bedrock was back on-air and programmes commenced broadcasting from its new home at Queen’s Hospital.
To celebrate the new studios and the relaunch of Bedrock Hospital Radio at its new home in Queen’s Hospital, a very special guest was invited to the official opening.
On January 22, 2009, HRH Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, officially opened the new studios. She even made a song request for ABBA’s “Mamma Mia” before visiting the Coral Ward to hear her song played for patients. In honor of her visit, the studio was officially named The Cornwall Suite.
We were very proud to have made national press coverage for this moment, and a whole host of volunteers, past and present, were invited to celebrate with us.
On Air at Queen's Hospital
When we first came back on-air in 2009, we hadn’t fully returned to 24/7 programming due to limitations with the new IT infrastructure and the ongoing work of digitizing our music library. During this period, our sustaining service was provided by local station Time FM.
To regain full independence, our trustees invested in new play-out software that could run its own sustaining service. This decision was fast-tracked after receiving feedback from patients about the type of content Time FM was broadcasting overnight. The new software, capable of both live and automated modes, allowed Bedrock to once again become a fully independent, 24-hour service.
With three years off-air, we had a lot of work to do to rebuild our name. We dropped the AM suffix and introduced a new jingle package to re-identify ourselves as ‘Your Friendly Station’. Our focus was on patient entertainment, proudly highlighting our request collectors and how to get in touch with the studio.
Bedrock Station IDs 2009 – 2016 Jingles
In 2011, the phrase ‘Your Friendly Station, Your Friendly Choice’ was phased out after serving its purpose of helping to rebuild the station’s profile within Queen’s Hospital. To better realign ourselves to compete with other mainstream stations on the Premier Telesolutions system, we refocused our on-air phrase to ‘Timeless Classics & Requests’. This new, more direct approach clearly communicated what listeners could expect from us
As part of our 10th year operating as Bedrock, the Trustees planned a major modernization project to upgrade our aging IT equipment. With a projected cost of up to £10,000, new software, mixers, and hardware were to be installed over the next five years, funded by successful fundraising events and grants.
From 2012 to 2013, we began a complete studio upgrade with more advanced software and powerful hardware. Our IT network also received a significant upgrade with new servers and workstations, helping to future-proof the station and store our music and files more securely. This also enabled our volunteers to produce more on-air content and develop new features.
As part of this major project, we invested in the industry-standard broadcast software, Myriad, as our main system. It was flexible enough to find requested songs and powerful enough to select music that we knew patients like to hear.
2014 - 50 years of Hospital Radio in Havering.
Celebrating our heritage and expanding our coverage.
In 2014, we celebrated 50 years of Hospital Radio in Havering!
It was an opportunity to thank all our volunteers, both past and present, for their years of hard work. We reflected on the changes, from the early days of providing just a few hours of entertainment to a full 24/7 broadcasting service.
To mark the milestone, we launched our new live web-stream on February 16, 2014, with a special event attended by the Mayor of Havering. The new service allowed staff, outpatients, and relatives to listen online or via their smartphones for the very first time.
We listed Bedrock Hospital Radio on services such as TuneIn so the entire community could listen from day one.
2015 - Bedside TV System Breakdown - Queen's Hospital
In 2015, the Premier Telesolutions bedside system suffered a massive decline in working units. Patients were often left paying for TVs that were broken or missing, and Bedrock reported these concerns to the Hospital Trust. By summer 2017, the Trust and Premier had terminated their contracts, and all TV equipment was removed.
This led to a new era of patient entertainment:
The Trust installed a self-funded trial TV system that was free to patients. This system, with Bedrock as the first channel, was tested in the paediatrics (Tropical Ward) and connected to the same network as TVs in waiting rooms across the hospital.
NHS Wi-Fi was deployed across Queen’s and King George Hospitals as a new, free alternative, providing a modern way for patients to listen.
2016 - Goodmayes Hospital Radio (The Jumbo Sound) Merger.
In March 2016 Bedrock acquired our neighbouring station Jumbo Sound.
The Jumbo Sound
Goodmayes Hospital Radio Association (GHR) broadcasting as ‘The Jumbo Sound’
approached Bedrock in regards to a merger.
Jumbo Sound: History of Goodmayes Hospital Radio
Goodmayes Hospital Radio began in 1975 and was officially registered with the Charities Commission as The Goodmayes Hospital Radio Association (GHR) in 1977.
The chartable aims were to inform, include, and entertain the patients of Goodmayes Hospital. When the neighbouring King George Hospital opened in 1993, the station extended its reach to serve the new site as well.
In 2004, Goodmayes Hospital Radio changed its on-air name to The Jumbo Sound(which curiously later became the name of the radio station in TV drama Holby City). A few years later, on June 25, 2006, the station began broadcasting on the internet for the first time as a new way to reach its audience. This was followed by a relaunch of its new logo and a major 30th-anniversary celebration with special programs and guest appearances from old volunteers.
Towards the end of 2007, The Jumbo Sound moved from its original upstairs location to a new downstairs studio, offering more space and better disabled access. In 2008, a generous grant from NELFT helped to update the broadcasting equipment. Unfortunately, during the move, the crucial link to King George Hospital was lost. The station continued to broadcast to Goodmayes Hospital and online.
Jumbo Sound Station IDs 2007 – 2016
Jumbo Sound: 40 Years of Goodmayes Hospital Radio & Merger.
In 2015, the Goodmayes Hospital Radio Association celebrated its 40th anniversary, with the Mayor of Redbridge visiting the studios alongside new and old volunteers.
However, in November of that year, the studio suffered major equipment damage after a radiator burst, causing a flood, knocking the station off-air.
As volunteers and income dwindled during the insurance evaluation, the remaining members voted to close and merge with Bedrock Radio to continue their legacy. By April 2016, the remaining volunteers of The Jumbo Sound officially joined Bedrock, and service was restored to Goodmayes Hospital.
The station provided a relay of programs from the Queen’s Hospital studios while the Goodmayes studio was being refurbished.
In June 2016, the refurbishment was completed, with our larger unified hospital radio service, with the first live shows with former Jumbo Sound presenters in eight months were broadcast locally from the Goodmayes Studio under a new name of Bedrock Radio, Goodmayes.
Daily localised shows were broadcast to patients of Goodmayes Hospital, and NEFLT, and other programmes networked from Bedrock Radio’s studio in Romford.
(Networking with split content is a common practice used in commercial radio)
As a result of the 2016 merger with Goodmayes Hospital Radio (The Jumbo Sound), significant changes were made to accommodate the extra station. Both the Queen’s Hospital and Goodmayes Hospital studios underwent refurbishment and modernization.
We decided that the Queen’s Hospital studio would remain the main hub, with the Goodmayes studio acting as a secondary studio site. To support this, the larger mixing desk from Goodmayes was moved to Queen’s, while a smaller mixing desk from Queen’s was installed at Goodmayes.
We consulted with Broadcast Radio to find the best way to network our two studio sites together using our Myriad radio software. This cost-effective solution allowed both studios to share the same automation service, with selected programs from our main studio at Queen’s being relayed to Goodmayes Hospital.
The studios both received a fresh coat of paint and new bespoke furniture, giving our facilities a modern look and feel.
To adapt to our wider audience following the merger, we dropped ‘For Havering’ from our logo and began identifying as a ‘Community Health & Hospital Radio’ station. We now refer to the station on-air as Bedrock Radio with a new slogan, ‘Your Healthy Music Mix,’ which forms a key part of our new jingle package.
Bedrock Radio Station IDs 2016 – Present Jingles
In June 2016, Bedrock Radio launched our very own mobile app, thanks to the team at AudioSpace. The launch came as many patients, visitors, and staff were bringing their personal devices into hospitals to stay connected. We also wanted to adapt to the rollout of NHS Wi-Fi across the UK, which provided a secure and free way for patients and the public to access the internet.
By creating a free mobile app, we could encourage listeners to tune in using the new Wi-Fi service, especially in locations like Queen’s and King George Hospital, where dedicated bedside TV systems were no longer installed.
2017 - Great Memories, Classic Hits. Bedrock GOLD
As a result of our expansion, we launch a new radio station.
Bedrock Radio launches Bedrock GOLD
Great Memories, Classic Hits. Bedrock GOLD
Playing a mixture of Classic Hits from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s
for the social inclusion of older persons across the community
The Birth of Bedrock GOLD!
Based on three years of patient surveys and request slips, we discovered a diverse range of musical tastes across the hospitals we serve, from artists like Vera Lynn and Frank Sinatra to Adele and Sam Smith.
Our results showed a significant divide in listening habits: while some of our audience preferred music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, others wanted to hear music from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and today’s charts. With little crossover between the eras, listeners said they would “turn off” if too much of the other was played.
In 2016, we made the bold decision to launch a second channel to cater to our older audience and those who love the music from yesteryear.
Great Memories, Classic Hits.
Bedrock GOLD was softly launched in spring 2017. The new station first appeared on our mobile app and then quickly spread to services like TuneIn and other online directories to promote the social inclusion of older persons across the wider health community. The station focuses on “Great Memories, Classic Hits” from the 40s to the 80s and is mostly a continuous jukebox with a selection of presented evening programs.
You can listen to Bedrock GOLD in the Bedrock Radio app, on smart speakers, and online at gold.bedrock.radio.

2018 - Changes in Charity and Studios.
We change status to CIO & say goodbye to our studio at Goodmayes.
In October 2018, we successfully registered a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the Charity Commission. This modern charity format gives us more flexibility in our operations and essentially makes our new charity, Bedrock Radio, similar to a company limited by guarantee.
We formally merged our old charity into the new one, which resulted in the closure of our old unincorporated charity, Bedrock (1094330). We are now operating as the Charitable Incorporated Organisation Bedrock Radio (118076).
The official name of our organization has changed from Bedrock to Bedrock Radio.
In December 2019, we closed the former Jumbo Sound studios at Goodmayes Hospital after being informed that the building was slowly being emptied for closure. We worked closely with NELFT to try and find a new home on-site, but unfortunately, there was no spare room for our studio.
Despite the relocation, Bedrock Radio continues to serve Goodmayes Hospital and the wider NELFT service with all programming now networked from our main studio at Queen’s Hospital, Romford. Our studio link remains on-site, connecting us to the wards, and our dedicated request collectors continue to visit patients and staff to ensure we remain an integral part of the community.
2019 to 2022 - Ward Radio Project
Increasing our coverage, using a WiFi radio system. Plus we update our app!
Initial Test
In 2019, we began drawing up plans in a view to developing a solution to restore patient entertainment back to the wards of Queen’s Hospital, Romford. Re-utilising the dormant cabling from the defunct paid TV System.
Working with local companies & Patient Experience at BHR Hospitals, we’re developing a solution that intuitive by design, ensuring ease of use for patients & staff.
In 2019, we purchased two small tablets that run the Bedrock Radio App of which we deployed on two wards to test our Wi-Fi concept, sadly the Coronavirus pandemic hit in 2020.
We found from the tablets, a bespoke Wi-Fi radio solution would be a better option.
The most important aspect of our radio project is to be inclusive, allowing all patients to listen across Queen’s Hospital, regardless if they own a smart device.
We want our RockBox radios to be simple, with clear instructions for all to use.
WiFi Equipment & Radios
In 2020, we secured a Grant from the National Lottery, backed by the Government to fund our Wi-Fi Radio project
We purchased relevant network equipment to make full use of the dormant patient entertainment cabling across Queen’s Hospital, to create a private Wi-Fi network that plays only our hospital radio services.
To test get new system, we have purchased eight Wi-Fi radios that we will deploy onto the wards to get patients listening.
We will have our Hospital Radio operational by early June to
co-inside with Bedrock’s 20th Anniversary and the HM The Queen’s Jubilee.
We had planned to build our own Wi-Fi Radios (nicknamed “RockBoxes”) developing a 3D printed working prototype, however these are not viable to use.
However, an ‘off the shelf’ solution was found and has proven reliable, with audizeo models being the preferred model in circulation.
We have deployed over 40 radios to Queen’s Hospital.
The ‘RockBox’ has developed into a fixed speaker solution, rather than a radio, which we have begun live testing in 2024.
2022 - Whipps Cross Hospital Radio Merger
Whipps Cross Hospital Radio
WXHR ceased broadcasting at the end of 2022,
Bedrock Radio replaced WXHR at the start of 2023.
WHXR: History of Whipps Cross Hospital Radio
Walthamstow Lions Club established a permanent hospital radio service at Whipps Cross in 1969.
The studio was set up in a converted shed on the hospital grounds, next to the restaurant, with six volunteers to broadcast for just three hours on a Sunday evening. The station was effectively run on behalf of and sponsored by the Walthamstow Lions Club, with the full formal title of Walthamstow Lions Whipps Cross Hospital Radio.
This was soon shortened to Walthamstow Lions Hospital Radio or more commonly Whipps Cross Hospital Radio (WXHR)
In the 70s a short nightly local news programmes began in association with the Waltham Forest Guardian, in 1971 the programme ran three nights a week with support from the local paper.
Also in 1971 the very first ‘Down Your Ward‘ programme began with patients chatting to presenters using a cassette recorder. Later in 1978 presenters used the phone trolley to put patients live to the studio. This was upgraded to a wireless radio mic system that allowed request teams, through the 80s until closure, to broadcast live from the wards in real-time.
In July 1978 WXHR began serving Chingford Hospital and Wanstead Hospital, in 1979 the station was broadcasting 40 hours a week across the three hospitals. Then in 1980 an outside broadcast line was connected to Orient Football Club for commentary on Saturday Afternoons, funded by the club itself.
A major change came in 1982, after negotiations with Walthamstow Lions Club, to make Whipps Cross Hospital Radio a separate registered charity in its own right and no longer being run by the Lions.
In 1988 WXHR was offered a new home under D Block, known as ‘The Animal House’. Where a four studio suite, with an office, library and technical area was created, the studios were completed in 1991 and became the permanent home of WXHR.
In the Summer of 1998 the station took out it’s first one-month restricted service transmitter licence (RSL), broadcasting on 87.7FM during the summer of 1998, the signal reached from Chingford to Tower Bridge with the event coinciding in with 50th anniversary of the NHS.
Then again in 1999 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of WXHR another one-week RSL was broadcast in August celebrating the range of programmes offered by the radio station.
In 2004 a bedside TV system launched at Whipps Cross, operated by PatientLine (in 2008 it was taken over by Hospedia) adding Whipps Cross to over 440 beds across the hospital, the TV reported number of hours listened where in June 2004 WXHR achieved 9174 total hours – the third most used service on the system.
In 2014 Hospedia (previously PatientLine) published listening figures from the bedside TV consoles. WXHR recorded 72% of all patients listening at Whipps Cross Hospital, making WXHR the second most listened to Hospital Radio service in the UK, and figures also showed a weekly average of over 5600 listeners making average the fourth highest in the UK (when compared with figures from other hospitals using the same system).
Unit for unit, WXHR was the most listened to station, with patients listening for long periods in hospital.
In 2015 WXHR began broadcasting online targeting the wider health community, allowing for outpatients and relatives of patients to listen. In 2018, the Hospedia contact with the Trust ended and the units were decommissioned out of service.
The hospital moved onto a new Wi-Fi system from NHS Digital. The NHS Wi-Fi provides a Trust wide system available across all five hospitals under Bart’s Health Trust. With WXHR being listed as the only Hospital Radio service on the NHS Wi-Fi across the entire Trust.
This was due to Woodside Radio (Newham Hospital) and Whitechapel AM (Royal London Hospital) closing down, with the status of Barts Radio (Formally, St Andrews Hospital) being unknown.
WHXR celebrated 50 years broadcasting in 2019, with a celebratory lunch for past and present members with a reflection on the stations’ history. 2020 bought confirmed that a new Whipps Cross Hospital (Future Whipps) is to be built and expected to be serving patients by late 2026.
The combination of the new hospital, changes in listenership and the need to modernise resulted in volunteers at WXHR voting to wind down the service by closing in December 2022. The last live programme was broadcast on the Sunday 25th September 2022, with the station in automation until closure in December 2022.
