About us

A Modern Radio Station for the Modern Age

On Valentine’s Day 2019 St. Luke’s Sound Hospital Radio celebrated its 40th year of broadcasting to patients and staff.

Staffed and funded by volunteers, we commenced broadcasting using a few vinyl records and tape cassettes, boosted by borrowed records from Woods Music Shop on Manningham Lane in Bradford.

Nowadays 100% of our broadcast content is digital, although if necessary we can bring older equipment out of retirement. On Monday 17th September 2018 at precisely 11.00 am we moved into the Internet Age by “streaming” our broadcasts online. Our output is primarily prepared for the patients and staff, for entertainment, news and information, however due to the nature of streaming, we can be heard worldwide. This allows relatives and friends to send requests and greetings to their loved ones.

Anyone can listen to St. Luke’s Sound on their mobile phones, tablets and computers. No more wrestling with plastic headsets and outdated tuning controls. Just select www.stlukessound.co.uk and click the ‘listen live’ button. Within the hospital the station can be heard in the public areas and various clinics.

You can contact the studio via email – studio@stlukessound.co.uk or call 01274 65

Listen in on Thursday evenings from 7:30pm to hear the ‘Live Lounge’ which gives local musicians the opportunity to perform live in the studio. You can watch the results on our Youtube page in the following days.

Look out for members of our team in the hospital, say “Hello”
