WFNU-LP is a community low-power broadcast radio station licensed to Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving Frogtown and much of Saint Paul on 94.1 MHz.[2] The station has a hyper-local focus on the Frogtown community and surrounding neighborhoods. Programming is varied, with multiple genres of music to local talk with community members. WFNU-LP broadcasts from an antenna on top of the Frogtown Square building on the corner of University Avenue and Dale Street in Frogtown.[3][4]

Although the station is considered hyper-local due to its small coverage area, it has joined the larger local stations in fundraising for causes over the years.[5] The station's programming is varied, with a mix of local music, talk, and even programs hosted by children. Local celebrities have also donated time to the station to help its hosts.[6][7]

History

WFNU-LP is the second LPFM radio station in St. Paul (the first being WEQY-LP). The station launched on August 3, 2016 after the organization had been streaming programming online for over a year.[8][9] The station received help from the Prometheus Radio Project based out of Philadelphia.[10]
