WFMU is the leading independent, freeform, radio station in the world, and the longest-running freeform radio station in the United States. Listener-supported, headquartered in Jersey City, broadcasting at 91.1 (and at 90.1 as WMFU) WFMU commenced broadcasting in April 1958. WFMU has a stated commitment to unstructured-format broadcasting, with all programming created by each individual air personality: experimentation, spontaneity, variety, and humor are among the station’s distinguishing features. WFMU was named “Best Radio Station in the Country” by Rolling Stone magazine for four consecutive years (1991–1994) and has also been dubbed the best radio station in either New York or the United States by The Village Voice, New York Press, and CMJ.

WFMU, broadcasting live music from its studios for decades. is now creating a live performance space on the ground floor of its five story building in Jersey City. Called the WFMU Radio Theater, it is conceived for the facilitation of the widest range of freeform music in front of a live audience, simultaneously broadcasting audio and video to a local and a worldwide audience. Innovative and progressive programming pioneered by WFMU since 1958 will be complemented by regular live theater experiences accessible locally and globally.
