An update on our broadcast service

We’re excited to be moving to our updated broadcast system, which will help us provide a more stable and resilient service for listeners.

As the new system is brought fully into operation, you may notice some temporary changes while we complete the transition. Please bear with us during this period as we continue restoring our full schedule.

Our volunteers are gradually bringing back the wide range of shows that Radio Marsden is known for — providing something for everyone, from music and specialist programmes to requests and entertainment for patients and listeners alike.

Thank you for your patience and for continuing to listen and support Radio Marsden.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Listeners Say

  • “It’s amazing how much a familiar song or a quick chat can lift someone’s mood, event if for a little while. I look forward to the Request Show every week, and the great sense of connection with the impressive Royal Marsden Hospital”

  • “I tuned in to the Request Show this morning as I missed it last night, but I made sure to listen to it this morning and I heard both songs I requested! Both these songs mean so much to me and have helped me get through any rough patches during my treatment.”

  • “One of the things that makes Radio Marsden special is the people involved. Many of our volunteers have their own personal connection to the hospital, and there is a genuine sense of care and understanding in everything they do. That comes across in every programme.”
