WDFH-FM
90.3,
located just up the river from New York City
in the historic village of Ossining (famous
— or infamous? — as the home of the notorious Sing Sing Prison), is
the commercial-free community radio alternative for the lower Hudson
River valley. Our FM signal reaches about
400,000 potential listeners in central and northern Westchester
county, eastern Rockland, and southern Putnam, and a small part of
western Connecticut [pdf

listen online
and on your mobile device.

NEW: You can give an automatic
gift every month. Please visit our
pledge

A key part of community
radio is community support. WDFH does not
receive any governmental or institutional funding, and so
we rely entirely on private support — your support.
We urgently need your
involvement in our fundraising effort. Previous
fundraising experience is not required, but we need
self-starters who are able to work independently and as
part of a team and who are excited about the community
radio mission and dedicated to saving WDFH as a local
resource.
