VOW FM 88.1 is a 24-hour campus radio station broadcasting from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. The station made its debut broadcasting in English in the 90s, with the support of The Wits School of Journalism. The station relaunched in 2010 with funding assistance for the studios from the Open Society Foundation, The Media Development and Diversity Agency and the Kagiso Media Trust. VOW FM is largely self-supporting, relying on revenue raised through programming, fund-raising events and on sponsorships of radio shows and advertising.
