AHBS (Ashford Hospital Broadcasting Service) has been broadcasting
hospital radio to Ashford's hospitals since 1971. Radio Ashford Limited applied for a licence to operate a community station for Ashford, and were granted the new community station licence by
OFCOM in May 2009 which includes some of the AHBS programmes. The AHBS volunteers produced the Weekend Breakfast Show up until October 2017 when it was transferred to Radio Ashford to broadcast the show instead with the same frequency. ==References==
