Hospital Radio Yare broadcasts from a Studio located in the grounds of the Northgate Hospital in Great Yarmouth. While most shows are solo projects by our volunteer Presenters we have an additional two seats for guests.

Our record library contains over 80,000 individual recordings from old LP's and singles right through to CD's, Minidisk and MP3. We also have a powerful computer system which stores our music on a server so that it can be played at the touch of a button on our studio computer as well as on continuous loop when our live broadcasting service shuts down over night.

1. Recording studio and mixing desk
2. Server room for automated music playback

Our current computer system uses a piece of software called Myriad organise our saved music and play it on demand.

The Audiowall

To play a track, our presenters simply select it from the boxes show and click the play button! Defiantly a lot easier than the days of Vinyl!

Automated Playout

When a presenter isn't in the studio to manually select the tracks, the computer selects them for us. It knows what time of day it currently is and selects an appropriate series of songs to play by itself. This software is important to us because it allows the studio to broadcast 24/7 without the danger of the computer deciding to play heavy rock music at 2am!
