History
Radio Woking started as a Student Radio station called YayRadio at The Winston Churchill School, Woking in 2012, broadcasting worldwide on the internet and on the school campus. The station expanded its broadcasting hours outside of school time on October 29, 2013, becoming a local community radio station with its present name to focus on the Woking community.
In 2015 BFBS won a local OFCOM trial for small scale DAB with Radio Woking and a local transmitter was installed at The Winston Churchill School, Woking enabling Radio Woking to broadcast across the Woking Borough.
