Wythenshawe FM 97.2, also known as WFM, is a community radio station broadcasting primarily to Wythenshawe, Manchester and the surrounding south Manchester area. It was one of the first radio stations of its type in the UK, gaining a full-time licence in 2005 and is run entirely by volunteers.
In 2014, Wythenshawe FM was awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary service.
In 2021, the station breached the conditions of its OFCOM license by failing to submit its financial reports on time.[1]
In October 2023, the station began broadcasting on DAB across south Manchester, Tameside, Stockport and the High Peak.[2]
