Gallery: TOC H Dundee Hospital Broadcasting

Plans to establish TOC H Hospital Broadcasting began around 1952/53 and the first documented radio broadcast was in 1955. They also established the first Hospital Television service in the World in 1966/67. The final television broadcast took place in 1973 and the radio service continued until 1975 when the station name was changed to Radio Tayside.
