[4] In January 2019, three months after Parry passed on ownership of the station to Beth and Steve Sims in October 2018, it was announced that Radio Scilly would be closing in March unless someone else took on ownership of the station, due to the management team no longer being able to run it.

[2] It broadcasts on FM on 107.9 MHz from the existing radio mast by the Coastguard Tower at Telegraph on St. Mary's island.

[6] It is one of the world's smallest radio stations,[5] due to the small number of residents on the islands.

The radio station is funded in part by a local weekly lottery, licensed by the Council for the Isles of Scilly.

Any money remaining after the prize has been paid goes towards the cost of running the station.https://web.archive.org/web/20071013022243/http://scillylottery.com/%7C archive-date = 2007-10-13| title = Radio Scilly Lottery}}[8]
