We are almost ready for the official opening of the first of our new studios at Warwick Hospital.
Due to extensive redevelopment work at the Warwick Hospital site, the building housing our old studios needed to be demolished. So we moved ourselves out with the last live broadcast taking place in early July 2023.
It ended up being quite a while before the old studios were finally demolished as the redevelopment of the hospital gained pace. These images are of the old Parsons Ward building, our home since 1999, and were taken in March 2024.
The South Warwickshire University Foundation Trust have provided us with a cracking new space. These images were taken in August 2023 and show some of the empty rooms in which our engineers would go on to create two studios, office space, our music library etc.
Internal work began in earnest in 2024 after we had finalised our lease agreement with the Trust and after a lot of hard work those empty rooms began to look more like radio studios. The next set of images were taken in May 2024.
And here we are now. Everything really does look fantastic and some of our teams are now testing out the new facilities! A huge thank-you to our small, very hardworking engineering team for all the work they have put in to get things ready for broadcast!
Stay tuned for more updates as the official opening gets closer…!
