Previously known as Radio Enfield, the station began in 1970 at Chase Farm Hospital when a group of schoolboys decided to start a radio station.
That’s according to the chairman, David Scarff, who has been broadcasting since the station’s origin when it was no more than a cupboard with a singular two hour show every Sunday night.
He has witnessed it grow to multiple hospitals across the trust, merging with our charity to become Royal Free Radio in 2000.
The highlight? “Meeting new people,” for David, who even met his wife through the station. His daughter now presents her own show on Royal Free Radio.
