In the early 1990s, [[BBC Local Radio]] underwent an expansion programme where counties and other areas without a local radio station were identified. Five stations were to launch: [[BBC Radio Surrey]], [[BBC Radio Berkshire]], [[BBC Radio Suffolk]], [[BBC Radio Wiltshire|BBC Wiltshire Sound]] and BBC Radio Warwickshire.{{fact|date=May 2025}}

The ''Radio Warwickshire'' working title was changed to ''BBC CWR'' by the time the station launched on 17 January 1990 as the name CWR ''(Coventry and Warwickshire Radio)'' reflected the wider area that the new station would cover, taking in the city of [[Coventry]] with the whole of the county of [[Warwickshire]], which was then also served by [[BBC Radio WM]]. The station broadcast from a Victorian-style mansion on Warwick Road, close to [[Coventry railway station]]. Smaller studios were located in  [[Atherstone]], [[Nuneaton]], [[Rugby, Warwickshire|Rugby]], [[Stratford-upon-Avon]], [[Leamington Spa|Leamington]] and [[Warwick]].{{fact|date=May 2025}}
