Worthy FM is the onsite radio station of The Glastonbury Festival. It broadcasts on 87.7 MHz FM and online for one week only during the Festival, operating under a Restricted Service Licence (RSL). The station features interviews, music and performance from across the festival site, as well as important information on traffic congestion, camping availability and overcrowding. It is intended for those at or on the approach to the festival.
The station is run by a team of 30 volunteers, many of whom have been working on the station for a number of years. In addition, the station reserves a small number of crew places each year for new volunteers, who are chosen through a national competition judged by festival organiser Emily Eavis.

Famous quotes containing the word worthy:
“Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime—I’m referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It’s extremely painful. I agree that it’s hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It’s no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
