Further information

Radio Grapevine launched in 1991 in the brand new hospital in Livingston - St John's Hospital at Howden. It was founded in 1987 by an enthusiastic team with those attending that vital first meeting included Jimmy Young, Jim Black and Billy Haggarty.

1995 saw Radio Grapevine broadcasting for 6 hours a week with a very small membership. However, member numbers grew very rapidly and broadcasting quickly stepped up to 7 days a week.

1999 saw Radio Grapevine go on air 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week. And with an ever-increasing membership, live shows were to be broadcast every weekday evening and at weekends.

Radio Grapevine today broadcasts live shows between 7 and 10pm every weekday evening and all day on Sundays.
