Description:

Since launching this radio station, I have been constantly contacted by relatives of many of our listeners who have expressed their gratitude to 'The UK 1940s Radio Station' and also our 'British Home Front Radio' for the comfort that they have provided during the fading years of their much loved relatives. This could be through illness such as cancer, although more often than not through Dementia. Often after a bereavement a person loosing their life long partner finds themselves living alone. Both my own parents along with my mother-in-law were diagnosed with dementia between 2003 and 2007. I found with this happening to my father, who was also losing his sight, prompted me to load his MP3 player with lots of old time radio shows and also 1940s and 1950s music, which he really enjoyed listening to. Noticing the beneficial effect on dad being calmer and less fidgety led me to thinking about starting this radio station, thinking that it might provide some comfort to others.
