About WWFM

WWFM The Classical Network

WWFM's flagship station began broadcasting on September 6, 1982 and has grown into a full time classical music network serving New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and portions of Delaware and Maryland. WWFM The Classical Network continues to expand its reach beyond these regions with simulcast programming via satellite to an additional translator in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The Classical Network streams its programming, reaching listeners through the Internet at www.wwfm.org. WWFM is licensed to Mercer County Community College and is located on the college's West Windsor, NJ, Campus. The Classical Network represents New Jersey's only full-time classical music stations, providing a blend of locally produced, exclusive specialty programs alongside those from national and international classical performance sources.

WWFM The Classical Network is honored to be a three-time award recipient of the prestigious ASCAP Foundation Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award for Broadcasting, as follows:
2014 for Cadenza hosted by David Osenberg
2016 for Between the Keys hosted by Jed Distler
2024 for Sounds Choral hosted by a rotating roster of esteemed choral artists

WWFM takes advantage of HD technology, with digital broadcasting via two channels: 89.1, HD1, all-classical, and 89.1, HD2, all-jazz. Both stations stream programming live via the Internet:  WWFM  or  JazzOn2

JazzOn2

On September 1, 2008, WWFM began to offer jazz programming via 89.1 HD2. You can enjoy jazz favorites around-the-clock on your digital HD radio, WWFM, 89.1, HD2.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

While the largest source of yearly revenue continues to come from WWFM listener-member donations, WWFM was also partially funded by an annual grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Update: CPB has dissolved in the wake of the July 2025 Congressional vote to defund public broadcasting of federal monies that until then were used to provide Public Radio and TV with important annual grants. As of that action, WWFM will no longer receive an annual grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and must rely even more heavily on the generosity of its listeners for on-going financial assistance to cover costs associated with creating, acquiring, broadcasting and streaming its programming.
