Who we are
WDFH is an independent,
locally owned and operated station run by
local volunteers, a rare breath of fresh air in these
corporate-media-conglomerate dominated times, especially here in the
media-saturated NYC area.
WDFH is licensed to Hudson
Valley Community Radio, Inc., a local, independent,
community-based nonprofit organization.

Programming
WDFH's
programming
is unique in the New York metropolitan area.
We play a freeform mix of rock, folk, blues,
jazz, and world music. What you hear on WDFH is eclectic and
exciting because it's programmed not by some computer program, as is
the case at most radio stations, but by volunteers who bring their own
musical passions to the station.
We bring you an array of
local and
national news and public affairs programs, including Democracy
Now!, Recovery Talk, Free Speech Radio News,
In Focus, Alternative Radio, The Parent's
Journal, This Way Out, CounterSpin, and
Making Contact. We provide special coverage when something
important is going on (for example, our nationally recognized 2004
political
coverage).
We're also active in the local music scene, regularly
featuring musicians from our area on the air. And because we're
just outside of NYC, the range of talent we can bring you is pretty
amazing! Check out
WDFH's Music Room
and see what's happening.
Documentary available for
online listening
Our documentary on
Midnight Run, the Dobbs Ferry-based nonprofit that gathers food
and clothing for the homeless and runs them into New York City for
distribution, was also broadcast nationally on Pacifica.
Construction was completed on Monday, January 19,
2009, with the installation of the antenna and transmission line,
and we filed the necessary FCC paperwork on Wednesday, January 21,
officially meeting the deadline of January 24. We began
broadcasting from the new site at half power as we moved our
equipment from the old site to the new one on Saturday, January 24.
The FCC has granted our license application on January 29, and we
are now operating at full power.
This project was over seven years in the making.
Thanks to our current members for helping to make it a reality.

National Public Radio has made a significant
equipment donation that will allow us to retire our 1960s-vintage
broadcast consoles, improving audio quality and reliability in our
studios. More
