Rajo Radio is a community-led Birmingham station with a clear local role. It describes itself as the first Somali DAB radio station in Birmingham and was created to serve Somali audiences in the city and across the wider West Midlands. The station mixes speech, community discussion, news and cultural content rather than sounding like a generic music stream, which gives it a stronger identity than a lot of smaller online outlets.
The station was founded by Fathi Mohammed and launched in November 2021 after securing its DAB licence. Rajo Radio has roots in Small Heath and positions itself as a platform that informs, educates, entertains and uplifts the local Somali community. That matters because it gives the station a real purpose: it is not just broadcasting for the sake of filling airtime, it is trying to reflect a specific Birmingham community that often gets overlooked by mainstream media.
Programming leans heavily into talk, religion, youth discussion and community issues. Rajo Radio also highlights outreach work and youth training, which fits the station's community-radio role properly rather than just using the label. For listeners in Birmingham looking for Somali voices, local discussion and a station with a genuine link to the area, Rajo Radio offers something more distinctive than the usual automated online format.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- Mahamed Nuur: Director and presenter on Rajoradio, listed across the station schedule and used here as one of the station's main on-air names.
- Mohamed Amine – Doorka Dhalinyarada: Presenter of Doorka Dhalinyarada, a recurring show on the station schedule focused on youth-related discussion and community themes.
- Sh Mustafa Salam Ali – Hadith: Presenter of Hadith, a faith-based programme listed on the schedule, giving the station a clear religious and educational strand.
- Muad Mohammed: Named by the station as a new presenter, showing Rajo Radio is still developing fresh on-air talent alongside its established voices.
