While WFDU andWNYU-FMshare the frequency, each station maintains separate transmitter and studio facilities as well as discrete programming and personnel.
The station's broadcast signal has up to a 60-mile radius of its transmitter within the historic Armstrong Field Lab in Alpine. The AFL is the site of the world's first FM station,W2XMN,built by the creator of FM technology, MajorEdwin Howard Armstrong.With an increase in antennaheightand a power rise to 3,000 watts, WFDU-FM has the potential to reach 8.2 million people. In August 2015, WFDU launched two newHDchannels: HD2, which is now called "Eclectic Sound", and HD3, which is now called "Student Voice of FDU".
