From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WNED AM is an American radio station broadcasting in Buffalo, New York at a frequency of 970 kHz. It offers an all-news format.
WNED is one of two National Public Radio affiliates in Buffalo. The other is WBFO, operated by the University of Buffalo.
[edit] History
WNED-AM was launched on October 14, 1924 as WEBR, making it the second-longest running radio station in Buffalo behind WGR. In 1975, the Western New York Public Broadcasting Association bought WEBR and WREZ-FM, adopting an (almost) all-news format a year later (although an overnight jazz program remained on the air). In 1993 the station was renamed WNED-AM and all non-news programming was dropped.
Unlike its counterpart WBFO, WNED-AM focuses entirely on news and talk programming. Several of the programs on WNED and WBFO overlap, with different production teams (for instance, Morning Edition airs on both WNED and WBFO, each with its own host for local inserts). Programs heard uniquely on WNED-AM include On Point, Day to Day, To the Point, The World, Marketplace, and As it Happens.
