AW Radio

AW Radio combines music with interviews and programmes that range beyond entertainment into business, travel, history and ideas. Part of Aspen Waite, the station describes education and enjoyment as central to its purpose. Its musical selection includes emerging bands and established favourites, while guests bring perspectives from the arts, sport, science and other fields.

Real Music, Real Business with Craig Arthur brings business stories into a music programme. Travel Tapes with Nathaniel Warren takes a different approach, using places and journeys as the starting point for each edition. Albion's Keeper with Paul Waite and Jane Knowles explores nature and a pagan view of the world, with folk and other music contributing to that theme.

Chris RedJam introduces emerging and unsigned artists in On the Horizon and explores less conventional selections in Kaleidoscope. Geoff Rogers presents the Classic Rock Show, while Imogen Legg's Good Times takes a pop-oriented route. The School of Wellness features Ruta Lendraitiene in conversation about training and wellbeing with invited guests. These programmes extend the range from new music discovery and established guitar favourites to the experiences and interests of people outside broadcasting.

Between presented programmes, broader selections of hits keep music at the centre of the service. AW Radio also invites musicians to submit their work, which supports its interest in new material as well as older recordings. The combination suits listeners who enjoy songs across several eras but also want substantial conversation and programmes shaped by their presenters' individual interests.
