Book and news searches show nothing to meet the criteria at WP:ORGCRITE namely "A company, corporation, organisation, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organisation". No sourcing can be found to demonstrate meeting of WP:ORGDEPTH either. AusLondonder (talk) 21:46, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to East Surrey Hospital. Radio stations are subject to WP:NMEDIA, where the only requirements for notability are that the station is duly licensed and originates at least some of its own programming — but even those requirements do have to be reliably sourced, and aren't passed just because they're unsourcedly claimed. They don't have to be ORGDEPTHed beyond local sourcing, because almost no radio station in existence could ever actually pull that off — but they do have to be sourced somewhere beyond just the OFCOM license itself. That said, NMEDIA also specifies that if a radio station is deemed non-notable but the company or organization that operates it has an article, then the radio station should always remain in place as a redirect to that parent article.
