Official Name: West Lothian Hospital Broadcasting Service (Scottish Charity No: SC022224). Radio Grapevine is the hospital radio station serving St John's Hospital, Livingston in Livingston, Scotland. It is run by a voluntary team of around 40 members who collect requests, produce and present shows, raise funds and present "outdoor broadcasts" for the local community. As a charitable organisation, no member is paid for their services. == History == The station was originally founded in 1988 when plans for a new hospital in Livingston New Town were unveiled. Present at that initial meeting were volunteers of the newly created charity. It took four years to get the station on air and in 1992 the new Hospital Radio service for West Lothian began broadcasting across the newly built St John's Hospital at Howden in Livingston. Over the following years, Radio Grapevine's membership continued to grow, and broadcasting stepped up to cover 7 days a week. In 1999 and 2000 Radio Grapevine's studios, volunteers and music were used in two "Restricted Service Licence" (RSL) Test Broadcasts for a new dedicated West Lothian radio station which broadcast under the name "Real Radio". These broadcasts ultimately went on to form the basis of River FM in Livingston. It was from these two broadcasts that Radio Grapevine acquired its first Computer Playout system. Since then, the playout systems have been upgraded and changed and the station now uses the Myriad programmes from P Squared. This allows the station to run 24 hours a day, and with a weekly and daily planned schedule of live and pre-recorded shows. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radio Grapevine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
