The WFMU Radio app is the best place to listen to the best in New York City radio. The app offers a full-service experience, with live streams, archives, and podcasts. You can also view playlists and comment on shows in real-time, bookmark and share your favorite songs, download archives for offline listening, and watch WFMU video feeds.

The app is based on WFMU's current website, which is the longest-running freeform radio station in the United States. It was founded in 1948 by Edward Ashen, who wanted to bring a free, public-access radio station to New Yorkers. Ashen hired a team of volunteers to build a station, and the first broadcast took place in July of that year.

The station has been serving New Yorkers ever since, and now offers a variety of programs.
