WFUV/New York Launches "TheAlternateSide.org"
Legendary noncommercial station WFUV/New York has launched a second multiplatform music service. Dubbed "The Alternate Side," the programming centers on modern/independent music with a heavy focus on New York's local music scene.

The Alternate Side will live online, on WFUV as specialty programming, and fulltime as an HD channel on 90.7 FM HD3.

Media Mechanics has worked alongside WFUV staffers over the past year to develop TheAlternateSide.org and its related content.

Congratulations to the staff of WFUV and licensee Fordham University!
