BBC Radio 2 is set to take over the city’s hospital radio station during Tuesday.

Richie Anderson is joining DJs on Preston Hospital Radio before ‘a mystery guest’ drops by during the Tuesday afternoon.

They will both be broadcasting live from the hospital’s radio station within Royal Preston Hospital.

Scott Mills announced the guest broadcasts live on BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show during Tuesday morning with Richie roaming around the BBC Radio 2 In The Park festival site at Moor Park and then hot-footing it to the hospital in Fulwood.

Stefanie Johnson, head of recruitment and volunteers at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, was talking to Scott on the show during Tuesday morning – saying they needed someone to step in.

The mystery DJs show will be on from 2pm to 4pm and can be listened to live via the Preston Hospital radio link. For those inside the hospital then can listen on their handset by selecting option one.
