WBEN is an AM radio station serving the Niagara, Buffalo and Western New York area, broadcasting on 930 kHz and, as of April 5, 2011, simulcasting on a sister FM station WLKK at 107.7 MHz, which in turn is relayed on a translator W297AB-FM at 107.3 MHz from Williamsville, New York. It previously simulcasted between 1946 and 1960 on 102.5 FM as WBEN-FM (with the morning show simulcast continuing until 1973). Both stations retained the WBEN call-sign after the co-owned TV station, WBEN-TV, was sold separately to become WIVB in 1977. Its AM transmitter is located in Grand Island, New York. The present (WLKK) FM transmitter is in Wethersfield, NY in Wyoming County. Its AM radio signal covers Toronto, Ontario as well, while the FM simulcast covers both the Buffalo and the Rochester markets.
