LISTENERS can now tune in to Meridian Radio from anywhere in the world after the radio station, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, started broadcasting online at the weekend.
The volunteer-run station, which has been broadcasting for over fifty years, officially started streaming online on Saturday morning and celebrated the occasion with a live chat on air with the mayor, David Grant.
Station Manager Alan King told Greenwich.co.uk that it was “a great milestone for Meridian Radio.”
He added: “It means we’ve developed, and we continue to develop, since our journey started way back in 1961. Our programmes are still directed at people in the hospital but this lets people outside who want to hear what we’re doing listen in too.”
Listeners can listen live by visiting www.meridianradio.co.uk or by tuning in using an internet radio.
