Radio WMW (Westmünsterland-Welle; own spelling: RADIO WMW ) is a private local radio in the Borken district that has existed since 1992 .

history

Radio WMW went on air on April 4, 1992 with a license from the State Media Authority in North Rhine-Westphalia . From 1990 to 2013 Reiner Mannheims was editor-in-chief. Lennart Thies has been his successor since July 1, 2014.

Since May 2016, Uplink Network from Düsseldorf has been responsible for operating the VHF frequencies , replacing the Bundespost's successor Media Broadcast as part of a market liberalization .

Due to a dispute between Uplink Network and Radio NRW , the stations of Radio NRW and thus Radio WMW were threatened with an FM blackout. Thanks to joint discussions, however, a solution was found.
