David Brown

I'm David Brown and a founder member of Radio Hillingdon. I presented programmes from 1971 to 1983 and was also part of the station's Engineering Team from 1971 until my daughter was born in 1986. 24 years later I returned to make a special 40th Anniversary programme which explained how Radio Hillingdon started and showed some of the hurdles we had to jump to keep the station on the air.

I enjoyed making this special programme and it got me hooked again. I now make special music programmes, normally around Christmas time.

I've been running the Radio Hillingdon Early Years website for many years and took over this main Radio Hillingdon site in February 2011 when I designed and wrote the software to generate the Electronic Programme Guide and the ON NOW and ON NEXT automated Picture and Description system to show who is broadcasting now and who will be on next. Also I created the software that automatically generates the What's On page which shows the events happening around the Hillingdon area. I updated our website in March 2018 to give it a more modern look and so it was easier to view on small screen devices.

I created, built and look after the Radio Hillingdon TV screens you see around the hospital. These show slides and play Radio Hillingdon. If you are at home or are visiting the hospital listen in on our internet streaming service by clicking the Listen Live option in the top left hand corner of our website or use our Mobile App. This can be downloaded from your App store, just search for Radio Hillingdon. You can also listen at home on your Smart Speaker by saying "OK Google, play Radio Hillingdon" or "Alexa, Play Radio Hillingdon". We are now also broadcasting on DAB+ to West London.
