Hello!

In addition to compiling all the new music and upcoming specials listed below, I've also had some fun recently looking through old airplay lists from before my tenure. We’ve just digitized our formerly paper-only Heavy Airplay Lists from 1987–1996, so you can discover or relive the WFMU of yesteryear. Curious to see some of the WFMU hits in September of 1987? Check out this playlist. Dial up the wayback machine and explore other months and years here.
