This will be in the first of a series of journal entries discussing various radio stations. I will discuss each station from my point of view. If you are interested in reading the details about the station please check out their website. I started to listen to them in the early 1990s. I remember seeing a listing in the New York Times for a special day of programming honoring Bob Dylan's birthday on May 24th. For all of these years it has been my "change of pace" station. They play a lot of folk music or a format in radio business jargon Adult Album Alternative. It is a not for profit station affiliated with Fordham University in the Bronx. Many WFUV alumni such as Vin Scully have become distinugished broadcasters. I used to listen to Ben Soper in the evening, but he moved on years ago. I usually listen to Claudia Marshall's morning show for about 1/2 hour. legendary New York personality Pete Fornatale started as a student back in the 1960s, but later returned to the station. His Mixed Bag show is heard 4 PM - 8 PM on Saturdays. I also listen to part of John Platt's Sunday Morning Breakfast. I suggest that readers of this journal at least check it out.
