WFTU-AM is a college radio station on Long Island operated by Five Towns College in Dix Hills, New York. The station is broadcast from the campus in Dix Hills and is then transmitted from Riverhead, New York. The station is also streamed on the internet from its website, [http://www.wfturadio.com www.wfturadio.com] .

Much of WFTU's programming is produced by current students and faculty of Five Towns College. The station is also operated by a student management staff under the guidance of the General Manager, a staff professor.

In late 2006, the station began showcasing the student and staff musicians through a weekly impromptu performance outside the station or in the college's cafeteria. WFTU also occasionally broadcasts live music performances from the Dix Hills Center for the Performing Arts and the other performance venues on the college campus.

WFTU also has a program called "Theatre of the Air," where students re-enact the old days of radio through old radio dramas. The first of these events had so many on-line listeners, the station's server crashed. [Snyder, Stephen. "Something special on the air..." "Newsday". (Long Island, NY). 19 Apr 2007, combined ed. B section.]
