History of CHR

Hospital radio in Coventry first started in 1971 when an American patient wanted to listen to Coventry City football matches and found out that it wasn't possible. When he got out of the hospital he set up a trust fund which paid for the landlines to connect the hospital to the Sky Blues old home ground of Highfield Road. All home matches were then broadcast Until the move from Highfield Road to the Ricoh Arena in 2005.

It was soon realised that the network used for broadcasting the games could also be used for a hospital radio circuit. This was the begining and in 1972 Hospital Radio in Coventry was establised. In the early 1970’s the station was known as Walsgrave Radio.

In 1980 the radio joined the Hospitals Voluntary Organisation and the name changed to Coventry Hospitals Broadcasting Service.

Many members soon joined, and a veriety of programmes were soon winging their way to patients in the numerous hospitals in Coventry. During the1980’s when local radio stations were springing up, there were a steady stream of volunteers eager to learn the skills of broadcasting so they could apply for jobs.
