bff.fm: best frequencies forever

community radio is life

I founded BFF.fm in 2013 because I believe in the power of community radio to play an integral role in our local music scene, and that a great Internet station can bring the Bay Area sound to the world. 

People looked at me sideways when I said I was starting an online radio station. But, today BFF.fm is a vibrant community of talented DJs, mainly from the Bay Area but also from Boston, New York City, and the UK, creating radio shows and building our listenership day by day. BFF.fm is now a 501(c)3 and we recently surpassed 1000 supporters during our end of year fundraising campaign. We've also won several local awards, including being voted Best Radio Station in SF Weekly's annual readership poll every year we've been online. 

I’m proud of the impact BFF.fm has had on the community and the opportunities it has afforded our listeners and our DJs. In 4 years we’ve hosted hundreds of bands in studio, presented dozens of local music showcases at Pop’s, The Rite Spot, Amnesia, and Elbo Room, and booked local support for touring acts playing larger venues.
