The mission of WFDU(FM) is to provide eclectic music programs not heard at our commercial counterparts., The objective is met through thoughtful music entertainment shows which feature our premier Monday through Friday format; RetroRadio that includes classic pop from 1955 through 1980. This “comfort-food” music has been dropped from WCBS-FM in NYC, but still remains very popular in all age groups. On weekends we also feature Folk, R&B/Soul/Funk, Country, Americana, Gospel, Salsa, & Bluegrass hosted by professional volunteers many of who are musicians in their own right.

In the Fall 2016 Nielsen ratings WFDU was honored to have over 45,000 listeners weekly with 6am-4pm strongest, especially with adults aged 35-54.
