Companies

According to the State Media Act of North Rhine-Westphalia, the responsibility for programming for Radio WAF lies with the community of organizers for local radio in the Warendorf district. V., which is composed of representatives of socially relevant groups in the district.

Radio Warendorf Betriebsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG is responsible for the economic situation. The newspaper publishers Die Glocke, Verlag Aschendorff and some municipalities in the Warendorf district are involved.

Most of the technical and business management tasks are outsourced to the full-service provider Audio Media Service (ams) based in Bielefeld.

Coat range

The rest of the program and the world news at the top of the hour are taken over by the broadcaster Radio NRW outside of local broadcast times. Radio NRW supplies 45 NRW local stations with a 24-hour program that can be accessed at any time. Radio WAF is, however, prescribed a certain local broadcasting time by the State Agency for Media North Rhine-Westphalia (LfM). In return, Radio WAF broadcasts an hourly advertising block from the NRW program. The music format is the Adult Contemporary (AC) prescribed by Radio NRW, which is aimed at 19 to 49-year-old listeners. The music selection is also largely given by Radio NRW. This also happens during local airtime. Radio NRW determines which title is shown at what time. The station identifier "Radio WAF" and similar IDs outside of the local broadcasting times are automatically triggered by a remote control signal from Oberhausen in the mostly unoccupied broadcasting studio in Warendorf at that time, as is common with all other local radio stations in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The programs are delivered via satellite. If reception is impaired in bad weather, the system automatically switches to an additional ISDN line to Oberhausen.

Two pillar model

The State Broadcasting Act in North Rhine-Westphalia prescribes the operation of local radio stations in the so-called two-pillar model. This model separates the program and economic responsibility with the aim of ensuring that the program does not lose its level or content due to journalistic or economic interests.

reception

Radio WAF can be heard in the entire Warendorf district. You can receive the local radio on the four frequencies 94.7 MHz, 95.7 MHz, 96.3 MHz and 92.6 MHz. In addition, since 2007 Radio WAF can also be received via web radio.
