WFMU attempts to fulfill its educational license in several ways: by offering specific programs of educational interest; by addressing various community concerns throughout its programming; by stressing diversity across its programming schedule and also within specific programs; by stressing radio as a creative medium; and by broadcasting information to the general community about private, non-profit and governmental services that are available to them. WFMU is funded largely through listener contributions and, as such, has a special relationship to the people who pay the station's bills. WFMU chooses to serve a diverse group of listeners by emphasizing diversity within many programs, as opposed to a reliance on numerous special interest programs ("coalition-based" scheduling), which is the approach most American college and community stations choose. We attempt to broaden through exposure, and not reinforce the strict classifications of style and genre that exist in the marketing of music. In doing this, it is our hope that biases can be overcome and our listeners can expand their horizons. If we are successful in this approach, then we have achieved our goal of providing an alternative service not only to commercial radio, but to other non-commercial stations as well.
