'''WUWF FM-2 and HD Service:''' On January 31, 2011, the entire broadcast schedule of WUWF FM-2 was switched to a classical music format. A digital HD radio is needed in order to listen to WUWF FM-2 over the air. You can also listen online either through your computer or other compatible digital device or with an Internet Radio. HD Radio broadcasting has higher quality audio with more programming choices and new wireless data services. HD eliminates static, hiss, pops and fades. In addition, the wireless data feature enables text information – titles, artists, weather and traffic alerts – to be broadcast directly to an HD receiver’s display screen.
'''WUWF-TV:''' WUWF-TV, launched in 2003, can be seen on Cox Cable Channel 4 in Pensacola and Escambia County, Florida, and in a live 331 kbps stream at the station's website. A variety of programming is supplied in the daytime through 11 pm on weekdays. Shows produced by WUWF-TV include Inside UWF, Southern Gardening, Within Reason, Pilates Core Training, Coming of Age and RadioLive. Overnight and weekend programming, excluding some public access programs on Saturday, is supplied by [[Classic Arts Showcase]].
'''History:''' WUWF was founded in 1981 by the late Dr. Thomas K. Perry, and has served the Pensacola and NW Florida communities for the past thirty years. Working with a core staff of multi-talented professionals and hundreds of volunteers, WUWF has approximately 65,000 listeners. With the cutback of federal funding in the 1990s, WUWF began a course as a true listener supported station. Today, it operates largely with contributions from local individual listeners with additional support from locally based businesses. Only a small portion of the station's operating budget comes from state and federal grants. The University of West Florida also provides funds, mainly for facilities upkeep and utility bills.
