Whether you’re listening for music, sports, news or lively talk, the FTC SOUND STREAM has a full schedule for your every mood and moment.

The FTC Sound Stream is the Internet web-based streaming service of Five Towns College. Formerly known as WFTU (1570 AM), the radio station at Five Towns College has been upgraded and expanded its reach through a rebranding. It is a professional full-service college radio station operated, programmed and engineered by students and staff featuring music, talk, sports, news, information, and remote broadcasts. The station uses a Hot AC format for their music selections along with a variety of student programs which features music from rap to rock to hip hop to jazz. 

​Broadcasting seven days a week from the “Gene Free Studios” located on the Five Towns College campus, the FTC Sound Stream offers hands-on radio broadcast training for students to jump right in. Students not only learn to master new and emerging technologies, but also to present news, music, and commentary. The FTC Sound Stream has opportunities for students of all academic programs (not just Mass Communication) interested in broadcasting and the multi-media communication industry.

The FTC Sound Stream once again received professional recognition in 2026, competing with college radio stations across Long Island and the United States.  Student broadcasters were finalists for three IBS Media Awards: Best On-Air Personality (Daniel Garcia), Best Morning Show (Good Morning FTC), Best Specialty Music Show (Hit Forecast). Daniel Garcia won Best On-Air Personality in 2025.  At the 2026 Long Island Press Club Awards, Isabella Escobar won 1st place in the Race & Diversity story category, Daniel Garcia won 2nd place in the Best College Radio Reporter category, and Grace Bonamico was the College Scholarship recipient for her multimedia body of work.

The FTC Sound Stream provides both fun and real-world experiences that all students can learn from. Find out how you can become involved today!
