AHBS Ashford Hospital Broadcasting Service is a hospital radio station serving Ashford, Kent. It began on 26 December 1971 and broadcasts 24 hours a day to the wards of the William Harvey Hospital and on 107.1 FM as Radio Ashford. The station is funded entirely by grants, donations and subscriptions. The studios are at the William Harvey Hospital in Kennington. The main output is the Live Request Show, with a regular team of presenters. In May 2009, Radio Ashford Limited was granted an OFCOM licence to operate a community station for Ashford, including some AHBS programmes. AHBS volunteers produced the Weekend Breakfast Show until October 2017, when it moved to Radio Ashford on the same frequency. Website: www.ahbs.org.uk.
