I am just wondering if anyone has heard of a Charity that is called Chrystal Radio? It is a charity that is within The Sheffield Childrens Hospital that is a hospital radio station.

Does anyone actually know that we exist.

:confused:

Get back to me on this! I need to know if we are known!

I know of it, I also know not to listen to it lol.

I only heard of it recently, since working with a girl at uni who is a dj there...

How do you know not to listen to it. It is better than most proffessional radio stations J-Blaze:|

I'm familiar with it, like Gemma, through knowing a DJ there. Good stuff.

I was involved with it sometime ago, they also have a television channel. Its good, requests can be made for the children as you enter the hospital, then either you can listen to them together or a parent/guardian can say listen at e.g. 7 tonight there will be a surprise.

It was a good project when I was involved.

Didn't Richard McCourt (sic?) of 'Dic and Dom' fame used to work there?? (well thats what he told us at school!) You should get him to do a bit of charity/awareness/publicity etc for you!

Correct! He gave me my first radio show when I was 15. Funny world. I've got plenty of embarassing footage of him as a youngster upstairs :D :D

The other famous(ish) person was Anthony Gay, who's now the Boss of Manchester's big radio station, after being boss of Hallam FM for a few years, he was our first ever DJ on air in 1984...

He's the bloke who originally hired me to work at Hallam, I have of course heard of (but not recently heard) Crystal Radio.
