WBFO

WBFO is the NPR member station for Buffalo, New York, carrying an almost entirely public news/talk format. It broadcasts from studios in the Lower Terrace section of downtown Buffalo which it shares with WNED-TV and WNED-FM. Previously, it broadcast from the South campus of the University at Buffalo. It currently leases an as-yet unutilized satellite studio in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Western New York Public Broadcasting Association, which at the time owned an AM station which had the call letters WNED-AM and 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, through November 30, 2012 which it broadcast on both stations. Most of the programming lost in the merger formerly aired on WNED-AM. Among the programs eliminated from the old WBFO were the last jazz programs originating from a Buffalo area radio station at that time.
