On the air from smart new studios

EAST Yorkshire's hospital radio's smart new studio complex has been given the civic seal of approval.

Kingstown Radio, which has a 40-year history, has now been transferred to 1350AM and can be heard throughout the Hull Royal Infirmary (HRI).

Its new HRI studio was officially launched on Saturday with a visit from Lord Mayor of Hull Brian Wilkinson and a host of civic dignitaries.

Kingstown, which plays music, information and interviews 24-hours-a-day, relies on donations and is staffed by about 50 volunteers.
