About WUFT-FM - Florida's 89.1 FM Radio
WUFT-FM Brings the Community Together Through News
WUFT-FM has been a trusted voice for Gainesville, Florida, since the 1980s. The station broadcasts from the University of Florida campus, reaching listeners across North Central Florida with its 89.1 FM frequency. The signal carries local news, music, and public affairs programming to anyone with a radio dial and a few minutes to listen.
And it does more than just report the news. WUFT-FM connects people with local events, weather updates, and stories that matter to the community. Every morning, listeners tune in to hear what is happening in their neighborhoods.
But here is what makes WUFT-FM special. The station covers everything from agriculture to education. Farmers in Alachua County rely on its local weather reports before heading out to the fields. Students at UF tune in for campus news and cultural events.

The transmitter power reaches far beyond the city limits. People in surrounding towns like Ocala and Lake City can pick up the signal clearly. And the station keeps going even during storms. The backup systems ensure that important information always gets through.
WUFT-FM is also a training ground for young journalists. The University of Florida runs hands-on programs where students get real broadcast experience. Many go on to work at major networks after graduation. The station has produced reporters who now anchor news shows across the country.
It is a place where voices from the community are heard. And that is exactly what radio was meant to be. It is simple. Always there when you need it. WUFT-FM continues to serve as a lifeline for information in one of Florida's most diverse regions.
