History

UKWA was set up in July 2014[1] by broadcaster Jonathan Morrell with the FM stations of 88FM Yanchep and 87.8FM in Burns Beach/Kinross areas.

In July 2015, 87.8FM in Burns Beach/Kinross areas was expanded to Mindarie, Jindalee, Clarkson, Butler, Quinns Rocks, Merriwa, Tamala Park and parts of Alkimos.

After the end of UKWA Yanchep's 88FM, it was replaced by Vision Christian Radio as at January 2016.

On 23 March 2018, the station started broadcasting on 87.6 FM to Butler, Jindalee, Alkimos and Eglinton.

In September 2018, Yanchep/Two Rocks was expanded on 87.6FM.

In December 2018, UKWA Radio rebranded UK Radio.

gollark: I thought it was satire when I first heard that.
