BREVARD COUNTY,FLORIDA – WFIT 89.5 FM, Florida Institute of Technology’s radio station and the only National Public Radio affiliate based in Brevard County, will launch its spring fund drive Friday, March 6.
The drive, which ends March 15, will be based at the station’s 6,500-square-foot Broadcast Center on the Florida Tech campus in Melbourne.
The fund drive comes as the station marks its 40th anniversary.
It was in April 1975 that WFIT first began broadcasting as a student-run station in the basement of Roberts Hall.
Now, the station operates out of a state-of-the-art facility that includes a recently opened performance studio.

“This is the community’s opportunity to show support for the music, interviews, NPR news, events and services that WFIT provides as the public radio station for all of the Space Coast,” said Terri Wright, WFIT general manager.
The station is seeking phone volunteers to assist with the fund drive.
