WFNU-LP is a community low-power broadcast radio station licensed to Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving Frogtown and much of Saint Paul on 94.1 MHz.[1] The station has a hyper-local focus on the Frogtown community and surrounding neighborhoods. Programming is varied, with multiple genres of music to local talk with community members. WFNU-LP broadcasts from an antenna on top of the Frogtown Square building on the corner of University Avenue and Dale Street in Frogtown.[2][3]
Although the station is considered hyper-local due to its small coverage area, it has joined the larger local stations in fundraising for causes over the years. [4] The station's programming is varied, with a mix of local music, talk, and even programs hosted by children. Local celebrities have also donated time to the station to help its hosts. [5][6]
History[edit]
WFNU-LP is the second LPFM radio station in St. Paul (the first being WEQY-LP). The station launched on August 3, 2016 after the organization had been streaming programming online for over a year.[7][8] The station received help from the Prometheus Radio Project based out of Philadelphia. [9]
