The manager of the country's smallest hospital radio station, which is right here in Leicestershire, says he's optimistic that they will still be on the airwaves despite uncertainty over the future of the hospital itself.

Mount Road Hospital in Hinckley caters for patients with heart issues, diabetes and carries out some surgeries.

But its been under threat of closure ever since health bosses described it as not fit for purpose.

Since then a petition containing thousands of names has been submitted to the Council calling for it to remain open.

Castle Mead Radio graduate, and now 大象传媒 Radio Leicester reporter, Jack Rafferty has been back on his old stomping ground to find out more.
