About radio

RaW 1251AM is an award-winning student radio station based at the University of Warwick, England. Founded in the 1970-71 academic year, it initially began as University Radio Warwick, later rebranding to RaW, and now broadcasts on 1251 kHz AM from the Students' Union HQ building​​. The station streams all its output online, providing a live listen to its wide audience​.

RaW 1251AM has a rich history of making an impact both locally and nationally. In 2005, it was the official broadcaster for the International Children's Games held in Coventry​​. Later that year, David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary and one of the station's founders, launched his bid for the Conservative Party leadership with a visit to RaW​​.

Not just a platform for broadcasting, RaW 1251AM is also a space for innovation and community service. In 2006, the station underwent major renovations, including the installation of a bespoke digital playout system and the construction of a new office space for DJs to work undisturbed​​. The station has also been involved in a number of charity initiatives. For instance, in 2011, four members embarked on a charity fundraiser named "RAW on Tour", visiting 52 student radio stations in England within a week and raising over £1,000 for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research​​.
