Hospital Radio: this type of radio is only played through out the hospital and in its grounds. hospital radios are produced by the hospital and are usually worked by volunteered nurses or other staff. but other people can go and volunteer as well. Although some Hospitals are still managing to run these radios, some have decided to stop running there own radio stations and start steaming live radios such as 'Gold' or 'Smooth radio'. This is because it costs so much for them to make there own radio station so if they are charging there patients so that they can listen to these instead of making the radios themselves this means they will be making money instead of loosing it. This means that 'Hospital Radios' are dying out and probably wont be around for much longer.
Community Radio:
Community radio use small radio broadcasting radios, this is because they don't have a licence to broadcast far and wide. This type of radio station is manly run by a set of volunteers often looking for experience in the area of radio and trying to get to grips with the environment and the equipment. Most of the funding for these types of radios are from sponsors or advertising, but a small amount come from Public donations.
The idea of a community radio is so that the people within the community can find out a lot more things about there specific area and that they don't have to listen to what is happening else where. This is also helpful because people might want to get more involved if it is within the community.
The negative side of community radio is that its funding has to come from 3 or more different places because they cant be funded for more than 49% from one original source.
