Subject: RE: WFDU CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - THIS SUNDAY
WFDU-FM's studios are located in Teaneck, NJ - about 8 miles from New York City. (If you stand on our roof you can see the NYC skyline!). We broadcast to the NYC metro area from a tower in Alpine, NJ. A history note - our tower is known as the Armstrong Tower, it is the tower where Edwin Howard Armstrong had a lab where he worked on developing FM radio, and the tower is where the first FM broadcast and radio station was launched. We are very proud to be continuing the broadcast tradition from that site.

After Sept.11 the tower was in the news again when television stations WNBC, WABC, WPIX, and WNET had to re-locate their transmitters to the site after their transmitters were destroyed with the World Trade Center.

If you go to our webpage, click on the link at the bottom of the homepage you can read more about this.
