WFIU Bloomington

Description

WFIU 103.7 FM is located in the Radio/TV Building on the campus of Indiana University Bloomington. WFIU has been broadcasting from the Bloomington campus since October 1950. The station is a charter member of the National Public Radio network, and along with 90 other stations, it carried the premiere broadcast of NPR's in-depth news program, All Things Considered, on May 3, 1971. WFIU now broadcasts 24 hours a day.

Licensed to the Trustees of Indiana University, WFIU is funded by several sources: Indiana University; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; program underwriting grants from community businesses and organizations; and voluntary contributions from listeners. The station broadcasts to 20 counties throughout south-central Indiana. WFIU provides its listeners with continuous broadcast services, 27/7/365. Each November, WFIU launches a membership/fund drive to raise revenues to offset operating expenses. Listeners can become station members at any time.

WFIU has approximately 25 part-time student employees. WFIU's programming centers on classical music, national and international news. Other formats include folk music, jazz, & comedy, and news & public affairs programming. The station's programming comes from local sources, as well as national distributors such as the National Public Radio and Public Radio International networks.

WFIU inspires, informs, and involves. Their values and activities are born of the purposes and hopes of Indiana University and of our listeners. For them, this work is a public trust.
