Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio Cavell is the hospital radio station for The Royal Oldham Hospital (TROH) in Oldham, England, a member of Pennine Acute Trust. It broadcasts both through the Hospedia Headsets (previously Patient Line) in the hospital grounds and on Medium Wave 1350AM. It is a limited company and has six directors who are in charge of organising the station. The station is run entirely by volunteers and all the broadcasters give up their time for free. Oldham has a very long tradition of hospital broadcasting. In the mid 1930s the Matron at the Boundary Park Hospital organised regular Friday afternoon patient entertainment broadcasts over the 'Tanoy' system. From 1952 a team of volunteers started to broadcast commentary on the football matches at Oldham Athletic to Patients in Oldham Hospitals. Football commentaries from Boundary Park have continued to this day. Radio Cavell was formed in 1972, and since then has continued to develop into the service we hear today.
