About GFM
Broadcasting on 107.1 FM and streaming online at gfm.org.uk, we are the community local radio station for the Glastonbury, Street, Wells and all the the surrounding villages. We’re proud to be a part of the community and aim to inform and entertain.
Our presenters are all remarkable volunteers, generously giving their time to bring some unique programmes to the airwaves. With their enthusiasm, we hope to discuss stimulating topics, keep you informed on local community matters, and provide a platform for the musicians, artists, writers and creatives who share the same love of the beautiful Somerset Levels.
We broadcast from the The Red Brick Building in Glastonbury continue to be licenced and regulated by Ofcom, the UK Government’s communications regulatory body.
GFM Radio is a not-for-profit radio station, and is grateful to those business who choose to advertise with us. Without them, we would be unable to continue to grow and improve. We hope you will do your best to patronise them and let them know you heard their advert on GFM Radio!
