Radio Tyneside is seeking new premises as its current home, owned by the Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Trust is being sold.
The station has been told there is nowhere else to relocate to within the hospital buildings, and to find alternative premises.
Discussions with various organisations are already underway, and there is great optimism that a suitable new location will be found, says the station.
Radio Tyneside’s Chairman, Dave Nicholson OBE emphasised the importance of securing new premises: “We remain committed to providing our unique service to patients and the local community, as well as reaching listeners online.
“But to continue, we urgently need a new location for our studios. We are appealing to individuals, businesses, and organisations who may be able to help us find a new home. If you can assist in any way, please get in touch.”
Today, the station serves hospital patients at the Freeman Hospital and Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, as well as the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. It also reaches the wider community via 93.6 FM, DAB, and online streaming.
