WBFO

WBFO is the NPR member station for Buffalo, New York carrying an almost entirely public news/talk format. It broadcasts from the Lower Terrace studios of WNED, which it shares with WNED-TV and WNED-FM. Previously, it broadcasted from the South campus (AKA Main Street Campus) of the University at Buffalo. It currently leases an as-of-yet unutilized satellite studio in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Western New York Public Broadcasting Association, which owns WNED-AM which had been carrying some of the same programming as WBFO, purchased WBFO in July 2011, and incorporated some of the channel's news features and staff into a combined lineup on March 1, 2012 which it now simulcasts on the AM station. Most of the programming lost in the merger formerly aired on WNED-AM, with four programs eliminated from the old WBFO including the last jazz programs originating from a Buffalo radio station.
