It's 40 kbps/22 kHz stereo. I tried to convince them
to raise the sampling rate to 44.1 kHz, but they're
determined to keep it within reach of urban dialup
modem users.

This aught to increase awareness of Ogg among artists
and record collectors in NYC and beyond who would not
have otherwise heard of Ogg Vorbis. 'FMU has a huge
presence on the web.

WFMU is a non-commercial, freeform radio station which
serves the New York City/New Jersey area from on 91.1
FM from a studio in Jersey City. They have a second
transmitter in the Catskills on 90.1 FM near
Middletown, NY which simulcasts their signal and
increases their reach to about 80 northwest of NYC.
WFMU is one of a VERY few truly independant radio
stations in the United States that take no government,
foundation, or corporate underwriting whatsoever. They
are entirely funded by listener donations and station
sponsored record fairs.  WFMU has a large online
audience as well, and spends over $6000 per month on
bandwidth for their many flavoured streams.
