Faroese people
Útvarp Føroya (ÚF) (English: "Radio of the Faroe Islands") was founded in 1957, under the station's first director Axel Tórgarð. Niels Juel Arge took over the position in 1960 and remained until 1990. Prior to the establishment of Útvarp Føroya, the Faroese people could only listen to foreign radio stations. These included the National Norwegian Radio Station, often referred to as "Norðmaðurin" ("The Norwegian" or "The man from Norway"), and the BBC World Service. These stations were mainly used for daily weather forecasts.
