Further information

Formed in 2001 following the merger of Radio Tayside and Radio Liff, The Tayside Hospital Broadcasting Group started broadcasts under the name of BRIDGEfm on 3rd December 2001.

We present our own live programmes during most weekday afternoons and evenings and from mid-morning at the weekends. Outside of these times, our automated computer system plays a great selection of music and recorded programmes.

The request programme can be heard every night from 7-9:30pm. Our request collectors try to visit every ward of every hospital as often as possible, plus our telephone lines are available for requests 24 hours a day.

Throughout 2005 BRIDGEfm held a number of special events to commemorate 50 years of Hospital Broadcasting in and around Dundee.
