Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of Barnet Hospital, the Hospital Radio Barnet studios are being completely re-equipped. Our current studios are at the end of their useful life and spares are no longer available, so we are having a refit. This means that we will be going off air after Easter for the rest of April. We will return in May, brighter and better than before.

Sunday 20th December, Gold radios Dean Martin returned to Hospital Radio Barnet for a one off Christmas special. Dean entertained the patients in Barnet hospital with a countdown of the UK's most downloaded Christmas hits, and brought along some prizes to give to the patients.
