What programmes and presenters are on Hereford Hospital Radio?

Hereford Hospital Radio (hhr.org.uk) broadcasts live programmes every day to patients and staff at the County Hospital, where its studios are based. The site lists a mix of music countdowns, news and sport shows, interviews, quizzes and plays, each tied to a named presenter and a regular weekly slot. If you want to know what is on and who hosts it, the schedule below is what the station publishes.

Presenters and their programmes

What each type of programme covers

How to use this to decide when to listen

The schedule is weekly and time-based, so the practical step is to match a slot to your listening routine:

1. Pick the day and time you are most likely to be listening.
2. Check the table above for the programme in that slot.
3. If you want a specific presenter, note their fixed day and time — for example, Mia Bishop on Monday afternoons or Glyn Williams on Sunday at 7pm.

Some presenters, including John Fryer and Dr Hilary Jones, are listed without a published time on the site, so their exact slots are not confirmed there.

Background worth knowing

Hereford Hospital Radio has been broadcasting since 1972, originally set up as a project by the Herefordshire County Youth Service and Hereford Lions Club. It has been heard at several hospitals across the county over the years but now focuses on the County Hospital. The station says it invested in technology some years ago to keep producing and broadcasting live programmes daily, and volunteers raise most of the funds that keep it on air. It was also featured by ITV News Central in March 2026.
