Hands down, WFMU, is the greatest radio station on the planet. First, because of the content: an endless river of amazing music from everywhere, and DJ's with unusual taste and ideas that actively confront and counteract the mainstream mind-rot.

And second: no commercials, no playlists, and no evil corporate overlords. It's 'free-form' in the best sense, and 100% listener supported. WFMU celebrates the imagination and reclaims the gifts of expression often left lying around in the attics, basements, and ditches of our force-fed culture.

JIM JARMUSCH

"WFMU is known as an oasis in the airwave desert. While most stations practice one-dimensional 'narrow-casting', WFMU embraces everything in the wonderful world of sound."

SPIN

"Fantastic website, great archives. It is truly eclectic programming, unlike other stations, which claim to be eclectic."

MATT GROENING, SIMPSONS CREATOR

"There's nothing better late at night in this town than climbing into the car and turning on and tuning into WFMU cracklin' across the river with whatever weird shit they're playin' tonight."

LEE RANALDO, SONIC YOUTH

"Romping through the history of recorded sound, WFMU's disc jockeys often come up with unbelievable artifacts, revelatory juxtapositions and songs you thought you'd never hear again."

NEW YORK TIMES

"If you've never listened to it take the college station from wherever you grew up, keep the same dorky DJs but give them the ability to speak without stuttering and actual senses of humor, multiply the size and obscurity of their record library by a few healthy thousands, and you're starting to get an idea of its greatness."

VICE MAGAZINE

"The crown jewel of New York independent radio"

VILLAGE VOICE
