Worthy FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Worthy FM is a local radio station broadcasting in the UK to the site of The Glastonbury Festival. It operates under a Restricted Service Licence (RSL), issued by Ofcom. Previously the licence had been issued to Radio Avalon, which had broadcast to the festival site from 1983–2005. It is staffed by radio professionals and volunteers.
The name Worthy FM was chosen by festival organiser Michael Eavis and is named after Worthy Farm, Eavis' farm and the home of the festival.
In 2007 Worthy FM broadcast 24 hours a day from Monday 18th until Monday 25th of June 2007 on 87.7 FM and live on the internet. In 2008, Worthy FM will once again be broadcasting to the festival site from Monday 23rd June until Monday 30th June.
The broadcast will include live performances and interviews with those performing, attending and working at the festival.
