WFMU – a New Jersey based freeform radio station – has got live streaming of their station working on the iPhone. The station believes this is the first live streaming offering for the iPhone, and I can’t recall seeing anyone else doing this before now either.
I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never heard of WFMU before tonight – but browsing through their main site’s FAQ, I’ve found out they have quite a rep, and their content seems really diverse to put it mildly:
WFMU was named best radio station in the Country by Rolling Stone magazine four years in a row. We’ve also been called the best radio station in NYC or the U.S. by The Village Voice, New York Press, CMJ, and more.
WFMU’s programming ranges from Edison Cylinders to Punk Rock to Breakcore and beyond; lots of flat-out uncategorizable strangeness, psychedelia, experimental, obscure 50’s-60’s blues, R&B, soul, hot-rod music, demonic world music, 78’s, 8-tracks, indiepop, schlock-a-billy, exotica, Downtown art music,Radio Improvisation, dopey call-in shows, interviews with obscure radio personalites,interviews with notable science-world luminaries, Spoken Word collages, Gospel, Good Ol’ Country Music, and much, much more.
I’ve happily and successfully tried out WFMU’s iPhone streaming site tonight. The streaming site helpfully offers options for Edge and WiFi connections – I haven’t tried out Edge yet, and don’t look forward to doing so.
