Background
Radio Fiza (operating as Radio Faza) was the sixth of the fifteen original pilot Access Radio stations in the United Kingdom which paved the way for the full launch of community radio stations in 2002. The Asian Women's Project originally provided programming on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays (0700-2300) and Sunday between 1200-2100 hours. The rest of the week consisted of programming from the Karimia Institute which are now broadcasting as Dawn FM. This is due to the fact that Karmia Institute lost its bid to keep Radio Faza once the original Radio license had expired. Since 28 March 2006 97.1FM has consisted solely of programming from the Asian Women's Project. Their slogan is 'For your information, communication and entertainment needs'. Asian Women's Project has experience with local community Radio, as it ran Radio Kiran from 2000 until the birth of Radio Faza.

“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
