Coventry Hospital Radio is preparing for\u00a0 a new season of live commentary of every Coventry City match for patients and staff at University Hospital Coventry. <\/p>\n

The volunteer-run station broadcasts full-match coverage of both home and away fixtures, allowing listeners on the wards to stay connected with the Sky Blues while receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The service, which began in 1972 after a patient requested to hear a match from Highfield Road, was made possible by fundraising for a dedicated telephone line.<\/p>\n

It continued until 2005, when Coventry City moved stadiums, but was restored at the start of last season using modern technology and support from the football club.<\/p>\n

Listeners can tune in through bedside entertainment units, the Coventry Hospital Radio app, online, or via smart speakers.<\/p>\n

The station also airs The PUSB Show, hosted by Moz Baker, Clive Brookes and Ashley Brookes, every Thursday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

The programme reviews recent matches, previews upcoming games and features contributions from other hospital radio stations. Ashley said the show is a lively platform for fans to share their opinions and reactions.<\/p>\n

The station says it aims to keep supporters connected to their club, providing entertainment and companionship during hospital stays.<\/p>\n
