Radio Wyvern, formerly 106.7 Youthcomm Radio,[1] is a community radio station, licensed by Ofcom, broadcasting to Worcester, England, on 106.7FM, DAB Digital Radio in Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and online.[2]
Youthcomm Radio was established in 1996, and officially launched its FM service on Sunday 13 January 2008 after broadcasting online for seven years prior. Initially established by Worcestershire County Council and Worcestershire Youth Service, the station later fell victim to funding cuts and was at the brink of closure in early 2018. However Muff Murfin was called to[3] take over control of the station.
In 2019, Ofcom granted many community radio stations across the UK permission for the installation of extra transmitters or coverage improvements to existing transmitters. Youthcomm Radio was given clearance for an increase of transmitter power, and transmitting equipment upgrades to improve the coverage of the 106.7FM service.[4]
