WFTU (AM)

WFTU (1570 AM) is a college radio station licensed to Riverhead, New York and is owned and operated by Five Towns College in Dix Hills, New York on Long Island. It broadcasts a Variety format featuring programming produced by current students and faculty of Five Towns College. The station is also operated by a student management staff under the guidance of the general manager, a staff professor. The studio is located on the campus in Dix Hills and transmitter is in Riverhead, New York. The station also streams on the internet from its website.

In late 2006, the station began showcasing the student and staff musicians through a weekly impromptu performance outside the station or in the college's cafeteria. WFTU also occasionally broadcasts live music performances from the Dix Hills Center for the Performing Arts and the other performance venues on the college campus.

WFTU also has a program called "Theatre of the Air," where students re-enact the old days of radio through old radio dramas. The first of these events had so many on-line listeners, the station's server crashed.

In late 2012, WFTU became home to That Other Metal Show. While serving as a tribute to That Metal Show, its mission is to spread the best in the world of hard rock and heavy metal and to also spread the word of new artist that may not have garnered as much public attention as others.
