Liverpool Hospital Broadcasting Service 1975 – 2025

It all started in 1975 as RADIO NEWSHAM launched in Newsham General Hospital Liverpool 6.

Following an invitation from the Broadgreen hospital administration to start a new radio service based on the Broadgreen site, Radio Newsham changed it’s charity name to Liverpool Hospital Broadcasting Service in 1982.

LHBS raised funds for both radio services until Newsham Hospital closed it’s doors in the 1980s but continued to operate Radio Broadgreen since 1983.


1975-2025 LHBS continues as a registered charity.
Our sincere thanks to members past and present for continued support of hospital radio across Liverpool.
