Grazie to the Blauvelt Sons of Italy for inviting WFDU to the 16th Annual Italian Feast & Carnival in Tappan, NY this past Sunday! 🇮🇹🎠🤹‍♀️

And a HUGE thank you to all of our listeners who came out to see us! Despite the earlier monsoon, the sun came out just in time for an afternoon of live music, singing, dancing, zeppoles, sausage and peppers… and lots of fun! ☀️💃🕺

Today marks 25 years since the events of September 11th. For some, that might feel like a lifetime ago, but for so many of us, especially those who lived through it right here in New York, the memory of it never truly fades.

Over the years, we’ve taken time on the air to honor and remember that day. And every time, the response from you, our listeners, has been powerful, heartfelt, and deeply moving. We’re proud to be one of the few local stations where people can still feel seen, heard, and respected when it comes to sharing the truth of what that day meant, and still means.

Last year, during a special edition of Duff & DeAngelis on 9/11, our own radio legend Judy DeAngelis, who was on the air with 1010 WINS during those moments in time, shared her personal reflections and experiences. Her voice was a source of calm and strength back then, and it continues to be now. She was joined by Duff, and together they put a tremendous amount of heart and effort into creating a powerful program.

While our on-air hosts are with you today, playing music and sharing stories to help us get through the day, you’re also welcome to revisit that special tribute here: https://wfdu.fm/news/special-online-tribute-for-9-11

To the helpers out there, first responders, healthcare workers, neighbors, friends...we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re so proud to serve the greatest city in the world.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your lives. We’re here for you, with the music you love, brought to you by people who love you right back! 💕🗽📻🎶
