From the WFMU News Vault: Local Coverage

This week:  Local news coverage from past and present.

Recent coverage:  The December 4, 2005 Bergen Record featured WFMU in "the third of a 5-part series looking at people who help shape alternative culture".  Music & Program Director Brian talks about his favorite music, including Sun City Girls, Jason Forrest, and Southeast Asian Blink 182 wannabes:  "To me, it's interesting to hear a band from Southeast Asia try to be like Blink 182. I don't know why. I don't even have any Blink 182 records."  The complete article can be read here.

Past coverage: Thanks to Listener Ed for sending this article from the Newark News of September 13, 1969.  It is about the closing of WFMU in 1969, as mentioned earlier in this blog, "following a conflict between the school and station personnel".
