Post: Bedrock Radio Now LIVE On DAB Digital Radio Locally

“The Heartbeat of North East London and South West Essex”

Bedrock Radio is proud to announce that we have started broadcasting on DAB+ Digital Radio across North East London and South West Essex.
This expansion brings our volunteer-driven radio station to thousands of DAB+ radios locally.

Our Heritage – Proudly Local, Since Day One.

Bedrock Radio local charity run radio station, powered entirely by a team of volunteers based at our studios at Queen’s Hospital, Romford.
Our Hospital Radio service has been providing music, health information, and local news for decades across Queen’s, King George’s, Goodmayes & Whipps Cross Hospitals, plus online via the Bedrock App and on smart speakers.
Our roots go back even further, continuing the tradition of hospital and community health radio in East London and West Essex for over 60 years. We exist to keep local voices on air and to support health and wellbeing through entertainment and information. Now, we have taken the next huge step by joining the North East London & South West Essex Digital Radio multiplex!

Reaching More Local People Than Ever Before.

Listeners across the region will are able to enjoy “Your Healthy Music Mix” on DAB+ Digital Radio, while we’re still available online and via Bedrock App,
we wanted to make it even easier for local people to listen; be it at home, in the office, the car, and most of all making Bedrock Radio more accessible to more of our local health community including Clinics, Surgeries, Doctors, Dentists, Opticians, Pharmacies and more!
With the added benefit, to helping to fill the gap left by the closure of Time FM earlier in 2025, Bedrock Radio based in Romford, can ensure there is still a local radio station, proudly representing the area.
With our heritage of over 60 years, we are excited to take our health themed radio service onto DAB+ Digital Radio and be the
“The Heartbeat of North East London and South West Essex” with a playlist that we call Your Healthy Music Mix!
Continuing our roots of being a radio station run by local volunteers, for local people.

Local businesses can also benefit from our DAB+ launch too, as Bedrock Radio is offering affordable on-air advertising
ALL funds go direct to our charity to keep us on-air and to buy new ward radios for local hospitals. – www.bedrock.radio/advertise 

 

Bedrock Radio Station Manager, Trustee Mathew Watson, said:

“This is a huge milestone for Bedrock Radio. We’ve always believed in the power of radio to connect people, and supporting peoples mental health and overall wellbeing. Which Bedrock has a fantastic legacy of doing this in hospitals locally for decades.

“Launching on DAB+ means we can reach even more people across London and Essex, with the added bonus of bringing local radio back to Romford. Providing more ways to keep people and the health community connected. See our website and app for our programme schedule.
