“Huge hugs and kisses to everyone at Hospital Radio Basingstoke and especially to you our listeners. This is Chairman Mike on this the Golden Anniversary of the station.
2022 celebrates 100 years of domestic broadcasting in Britain of which 50 years HRB from its humble beginnings as Mini Radio then morphing into CMMR before becoming Hospital Radio Basingstoke.
I’m so sorry I cannot be with you today but nowadays I’m badly disabled and often ill but that never stops me from thinking of you and wishing you every success with an incredible station from such basic beginnings to what is now one of the top prize-winning hospital radio stations in the UK and that’s all due to the dedicated team of volunteer members who work so hard to make it happen.
God Bless, love you all, happy broadcasting and happy listening, here’s to the next fifty years…”
