Station Overview
WBNY-91.3FM is located in Campbell Student Union 220. From the board of directors to the DJs, WBNY is completely student-run (with occasional guidance administered by our staff advisor). WBNY has been Buffalo's best source for original music for the past 25 years. Our 100-watt antenna, located on Porter Hall, allows us to broadcast to Buffalo and its surrounding suburbs.
Programming
Our 60-member staff determines our programming, which allows WBNY to maintain a musically diverse format. We have a passion for music--and we want to share that passion with you. In addition to our music-based shows, we broadcast homegrown talk shows, artist interviews, special on-campus events, local music showcases, and all Buffalo State football, basketball, and hockey games.
Funding
WBNY is funded by Buffalo State's mandatory student activity fee and United Students Government (USG).
