Twice a year, WFMU shakes up its programming schedule to keep things lively at Ol’ Monty. Our new Fall Schedule kicks off on Mon, September 13th and continues until June 6th, 2022. Many DJs have stayed put, some have moved to different times, others have taken a break, and several new DJs have been introduced into the WFMU radio airstream. Check out where your favorites are by checking out the new schedule here.

One of the (few) ways that WFMU is similar to other radio stations is that we keep track of the music that our DJs play most often. We call this our Heavy Airplay List. Up until now, you could easily check out what was most popular on WFMU in June of 2008 or December of 1999. But if you were interested in finding out what WFMU was playing in, say, 1989, you were out of luck. Well, good news! We’ve just digitized our formerly paper-only Heavy Airplay Lists from 1987–1996, so you can discover or relive the WFMU of yore. What were some of the WFMU hits in September of 1987? Listen to this playlist to find out. Dial up the wayback machine and explore other months and years here.

Donate your old car or boat to WFMU and we promise that we will never play the “Kars for Kids” jingle, EVER. Plus, you get a tax credit for the book value of your old beater!

It’s free and it’s painless!
