About Belfast Community Radio (WBFY-LP)
Belfast Community Radio (WBFY-LP) is a low-power, community radio station broadcasting from Belfast, Maine, on 100.9 FM. The station operates from a studio in the basement of Waterfall Arts on High Street, a location that was formerly an elementary school. Powered entirely by volunteers, WBFY-LP serves the local area with a signal that reaches approximately 10 to 20 miles, and listeners can easily tune in to listen live to its diverse programming.
The station's programming is notably eclectic, featuring a wide variety of music genres and talk shows hosted by community volunteers. The schedule includes specific programs such as "Sunday Jazz," "Who's Got The Blues?," "Northern Latitudes" for Celtic and folk music, and "Classical Thunder!" for classical enthusiasts. There are also syndicated shows like "Big Picture Science" and "Planetary Radio." This broad mix ensures there is always something interesting to stream online, from local music showcases to internationally syndicated content.
As a community-focused station, WBFY-LP relies on volunteer programmers and local underwriting support to maintain its operations. The license is held by the City of Belfast, with the volunteer group Belfast Community Radio responsible for the station's creation and daily management. For those outside the FM broadcast range, the station offers live streaming, making it simple for anyone to listen radio online and enjoy its unique, volunteer-driven blend of music and information.
