HWD Hospital Radio - The Heavy Woollen District

The award-winning radio station serving the

patients and staff of Dewsbury and District Hospital

in West Yorkshire.


Tour our studios

Our studio complex consists of three rooms: two are on-air capable studios and the third is our reception room and gram library. Choose a room and take tour. You will need Flash player installed to view the tour.


Studio One


Originally built at the same time as the hospital in 1989, updated to incorporate a computer based play-out system in 1999 and refitted in August 2005, Studio One is our main on-air facility.



Studio two

Studio Two, which was refitted in August 2007, is smaller than the main on air studio, but the equipment is the same and it can easily be used on air if required. 

This a really valuable resource and is used for new presenter training, pre-production, pre-recorded interviews and show preparation.





Gram Library


The gram library houses our complete collection of singles and albums - we think we've got something in the order of 6,500 pieces of vinyl, probably one of the largest collections in the country!

Every item is computer catalogued for easy reference, which is particularly useful for our very popular Sunday request programme You Pick The Mix.
