The beginnings 50's / 60's - Trinity Radio

Radio South Tyneside is one of the oldest radio station's in the UK having been set up by a group of radio hams in the early 1950's. John Tyzack and friends set up Trinity House Radio in Laygate, whilst also spending many hours down by the coast at Marsden. At this time we started providing football commentary of South Shields matches to patients in hospital.

70's / 80's Radio Ingham

In the 1970's Trinity House Radio found a new home at the Ingham Infirmary supported by the GPO and Rediffusion, we were able to provide a broadcasting service to the local hospitals.

80's / 90's - Hospital Radio South Tyneside

In the early 1980's we moved to South Shields General Hospital in Harton lane, when we went through another name change to reflect that we were broadcasting to various parts of the NHS within South Tyneside.
