WBNY, is a college radio station run at Buffalo State College located within the city of Buffalo, New York. WBNY broadcasts on 91.3 FM and was first licensed in 1982.[1] WBNY maintains studio locations at Campbell Student Union 220 with transmitter facilities located on Porter Hall, with an Effective radiated power of 100-watts, allowing for full campus-wide coverage as well general coverage as far south as Downtown Buffalo and as far north as The City of Tonawanda.[2]
Music programs on WBNY include two and three hour intervals of RPM, punk rock, retro, folk/bluegrass, loud rock, jazz, American Roots, reggae, hip hop, and "format" shows, consisting of music from WBNY's library rotation. Once a week, there is a six hour block of talk radio, featuring shows and discussions about professional wrestling, politics, sports, and trivia.
The station has been entirely student run since its inception in 1982. One of its more overplayed sweepers as of late is the one about the "donkey punch."
