[edit] Overview

Northern Air is a hospital radio station that broadcasts, (for free) through the UK's PatientLine system, directly to the patients bedside throughout North Manchester General Hospital, Crumpsall, Manchester and Salford Royal, Eccles, Salford.

[edit] Broadcast Hours

The station broadcasts a mix of live and recorded shows 24/7. Generally the live shows go out between 7pm and 10pm, owing to the fact that it is manned entirely by volunteers who may well have "normal jobs" throughout the day. However, the breakfast show is often recorded the previous evening for the next morning - so that it is both fresh and topical.

[edit] Staffing

The station is manned entirely by volunteers.
