The station was founded over 30 years ago in 1976. The brainchild of Gordon Cox, it was originally known as “Frimley Park Broadcasting Service”.

With funds provided by the hospital’s League of Friends, following test broadcasts on a couple of evenings a week, the fledgling service launched on 1st October 1976. Over the years, the studio equipment has been replaced and refined, and the broadcasting hours were extended to every evening with longer hours during weekends. The station is affiliated to the Hospital BroadcastingAssociation, joining over 300 other stations across the country.

Since the early days, Radio Frimley Park hasbeen a feature in the community with its "outside broadcasts", helping to raise funds for the station and awareness of its activites outsidethe hospital. As the bookings built up, it was decided that Radio Frimley Park should be more mobile, so in the late 1980's the first outside broadcast vehicle was acquired. Since then the station has had various former ambulances which have been converted into mobile studios. These have been used to provide public address facilities at many outdoor events and generate revenue for the station’s core activities.

The station hit a low when, in 1990, the studio was stripped of almost all broadcasting equipment. Although the thieves were caught and convicted and most of the equipment recovered, it had been damaged beyond repair. Following a concerted fundraising effort and with support from the local community in September 1990 Radio Frimley Park was back on the air with a visit from Tom O'Connor, one of the Hospital Broadcasting Association’s show business ambassadors at the time.
