WFIT

WFIT (89.5 FM), is a non-commercial, listener-supported, public radio station licensed to Melbourne, Florida, and serving the Space Coast.

[4] The programming offers occasional showcases of live in-house musical sessions and original interviews with local and touring bands.

[5] Also on the weekday schedule is the nationally syndicated Triple A music show World Cafe from WXPN Philadelphia.

Its programming included early forms of alternative rock, punk, hardcore, post-punk, new wave, synthpop alongside classical, jazz, reggae, blues, and funk.

[11] In 1988 and 1989, WFIT was voted as one of the top five college radio stations in the USA by The Gavin Report, an industry trade publication.

[13] In March 1993, WFIT dropped its daytime alternative rock format in favor of a contemporary jazz sound similar to that heard on WLOQ-FM in Winter Park.

WFIT's shift into the role of NPR affiliate reinforced the sentiments of serving the broadcast area with access to lifelong learning resources.

Public radio news shows, culturally diverse music, local artist exposure, and educational content are central to the ethos of WFIT's community outreach and service.

In 2006, the station changed its daytime broadcasting to Triple A format with the introduction of in-house produced Sound Waves, followed by NPR distributed World Cafe.
