The Faroe Islands Radio Stations

Kringvarp Føroya, the Faroese public broadcaster, carries on the mission of the historic Útvarp Føroya: keeping the Faroese language fully alive on air, from news and parliamentary coverage to children's programming. The islands punch absurdly above their weight musically — Faroese rock, metal and folk acts feature alongside the ballad-chanting tradition of kvæði. Weather and ferry bulletins are essential listening in an archipelago where fog and Atlantic gales rule daily plans.
