ScottyT's Wednesday Uplifter

ScottyT takes over Radio DGH on Wednesday 18 November for ScottyT's Wednesday Uplifter, a two-hour stretch of midweek entertainment that runs from 4 pm to 6 pm. It's exactly what the title suggests: a bit of something to lift the mood when the week starts to drag. The show is built around uplifting music, but there's more to it than just a playlist. ScottyT mixes in quizzes, soundtracks, news, and a handful of facts, so it's as much about the conversation and the trivia as it is about the songs.

If you're not familiar with the station, Radio DGH is a volunteer-run charity broadcasting 24 hours a day from studios inside Eastbourne District General Hospital. It started decades ago as a hospital radio service for patients, and while it still does that, it's grown into something that reaches a much wider audience across Eastbourne and beyond. It's a mix of music, specialist programmes, news, and local information, all coming from within the hospital walls.

Because it's run entirely by volunteers and registered as a charity, the station relies on donations, fundraising, and sponsorship from local businesses to stay on air. That's also why they're always open to new people getting involved — if you've ever fancied having a go at radio, there are volunteering opportunities for anyone who wants to join in.

ScottyT's Wednesday Uplifter runs every Wednesday from 4 pm to 6 pm on Radio DGH, so you can tune in from home or wherever you happen to be in Eastbourne.
