HWD Hospital Radio

HWD Hospital Radio broadcasts from Dewsbury in the United Kingdom as a community and music station. It streams online through its official website and is run entirely by volunteers under The Heavy Woollen District Hospital Broadcasts Association, a registered charity. The station says it now broadcasts 24 hours a day to Mid Yorkshire Trust hospitals. Its programming includes weekly schedules, live shows during the week, and non-stop music with news and weather every hour at other times. HWD Hospital Radio traces its first broadcast to 1952, when it began with live rugby commentary, and it also features listen-back options for selected recent shows.
