- WBNY abstract "WBNY is the college radio station of Buffalo State College, located within the city of Buffalo, New York. WBNY, licensed in 1982, broadcasts on 91.3 FM. The station is the descendant of BSC's AM carrier-current station known as WSCB, which could be received only on campus through the electrical system. The WBNY call letters were previously associated with 1400 AM in Buffalo in the 40s and 50s. (The WBNY identification is apparently also used by a shortwave pirate, unrelated to the FCC-licensed FM station.)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 and general coverage as far south as South Buffalo and as far west as Fort Erie, Ontario.Music programs on WBNY include two and three hour blocks 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. Wrestling radio show "Monday Night Mayhem" originated on WBNY and after moving to an internet-only broadcast in December 2004, continued to be popular.The station has been entirely student run since its inception in 1982. Carrier-current predecessor WSCB General Manager Michael Lesser, Program Director Scott Michaeloff and key staff such as Tom Connolly, worked for years to realize their dream of an FM station that would reach throughout Buffalo and serve as a music innovator. Lesser, who was also a VP of the Student Government, embraced the vision of Connolly and others, successfully petitioning the FCC and secured funding from the United Students Government (USG) to create WBNY. WBNY was launched with a great deal of fanfare. The DJ lounge, WBNY's "Lesser Lounge", was named in honor of the founding GM. Lesser realized that for the station to succeed in the long-term, a democratic succession was necessary. He elected not to run for General Manager for a third term, and new GM Bob DeAmbra won election through popular vote. DeAmbra and Program Manager Tom Calderone nurtured an Alternative format that became nationally recognized. Calderone used his experience at WBNY to become a Senior Executive at MTV. DeAmbra (American Express) and Lesser went on to successful Marketing careers. John Rosso forged a successful career as a Senior Executive with ABC, then Citadel and now Triton Digital. Nick Rozanov is a successful engineer, and lead drummer for the band 49 Days. Scott Michaeloff serves as an Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of Synaptic Digital. Many DJ's. including Tom Connolly, Rick Walters and Dave McKinley, can be heard regularly on radio and TV in the Buffalo, NY area. In the spirit of predecessor WSCB, WBNY spawned a creative wave of experimentation. Suddenly, late-night jocks were paving the way for a college-radio revolution that fertilized a dormant Buffalo music scene. Local bands, regardless of status or talent, were invited to appear on cutting-edge programs like "Down at Lulu's." The station also began bringing in relatively unknown national acts like R.E.M., The Cure, and The Replacements, and then-breakout major act The Smashing Pumpkins for local performances. Some WBNY staffers were even inspired to launch their own bands, among them Tina Peel's "Intergalactic Burnt Toast," Jeff Hastings' "The ShAnkHeAds," and Kevin Walsh's "Leper Gumbies."The WSCB callsign is now licensed to the FM station of Springfield College in Springfield, MA↑ ↑".
