WFTU History
An on-campus radio station was originally requested by Florida Technological University’s Student Senate in 1978. When WFTU began, the broadcasts emanated from the old student center and later from studios constructed in the Library basement. The station switched its name to WUCF-FM when the school was renamed the University of Central Florida in 1979.
