CHRW-FM (branded as Radio Western) is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 94.9 FM in London, Ontario. It is licensed as a community-based campus radio station by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. The station broadcasts from Room 250 of the University Community Centre at the University of Western Ontario.
The station is operated primarily by volunteers from both Western and the greater London community, although it is managed by a small team of industry trained staff and governed by a board of directors.[1] Radio Western regularly broadcasts live coverage of Western Mustangs sports games during their regular season and playoffs, including men's and women's basketball, men's football, and men's hockey.
