Description
SJEY styles itself "SJEY - Kristiligt kringvarp", a Christian broadcaster in the Faroe Islands. Its About page states that it is a sjálvsognarstovnur (a self-owning institution) governed by a three person board, that it is "ikki knýtt at ávísari samkomu/kirkju, men er opin fyri samstarvi við øll", meaning not tied to any one assembly or church but open to working with all, and that it is funded only by regular supporters and gifts. Output is built around Bible reading, daily devotions, music and recorded meetings, and on Sunday evenings it simulcasts with Iktus.

Artists
none established. The site publishes no playlist or song history; its schedule marks music blocks simply as Tónleikur.

Contact route
Well provided for a small operation. A studio telephone number and a separate SMS number are printed in the footer of every page, an email address on the sjey.fo domain is given alongside them, and there is a dedicated prayer request form at /send-bonarevni which also accepts submissions by SMS. There is no separate contact page and no social media links.

Language
Faroese throughout the site and in almost all programme titles and descriptions. The station also carries at least one Spanish programme, "New Life Without Borders - (Nueva Vida Sin Fronteras)", which its own programmes index labels "Program in spanish", and two programmes with English titles presented by Manuel Delgado and Manuel James Delgado.

Worth knowing
The station takes prayer requests through a structured form on its own site, asking who the request is for, and offering topic choices including Frelsa, Grøðing, Rúsevni and Fíggjarviðurskifti; the same page states frankly "Tað er ikki fastlagt enn nær bønartænastan er", that the time of the prayer service is not yet fixed.

Where
Faroe Islands. The station says only "Lurta á FM kring landið ella á heimasíðuni www.sjey.fo", meaning listen on FM around the country or on the website. No city and no frequency figure appears anywhere on the site.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| A single current presenter for Okkara løta | The site's two pages disagree. The programmes index at /sendingar says "Okkara løta - Rigmor Fonsdal er vertur", while every slot for the programme in the weekly grid at /skrain is marked "Okkara løta (e)" and credited to "Krista og Sámal Hanne Lognberg". The likeliest reading is that the repeats carry earlier presenters, but the site does not say so, so I have recorded both with their pages rather than choosing.
source |
| A frequency | The station has an FM network, because it tells listeners to tune in "á FM kring landið", but it publishes no figure for it anywhere on the site. I did not supply one from elsewhere.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
