WBUF (92.9 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Buffalo, New York. Its studios are located at the Rand Building in Downtown Buffalo, with its transmitter in the Elmwood Village neighborhood of Buffalo. WBUF is owned by Townsquare Media and broadcasts an adult hits radio format known as "92.9 JACK-FM."
WBUF began streaming its programming on the Internet in mid-November 2006. The station has an HD 2 subchannel that airs religious programming from Family Life Radio. WBUF also uses two FM translator stations: W291CN on 106.1 MHz in Buffalo and W239BA on 95.7 MHz in Niagara Falls, New York.
WBUF airs the Jack-FM format, which began on May 16, 2005, while it was owned by CBS Radio. The station was sold to Regent Broadcasting (now Townsquare Media), but the Jack format remains in place. Jack remains popular in the Buffalo media market even though the format has been dropped in markets such as New York City, Chicago and San Diego.
The Jack FM format is by far the longest-running format in the modern history of the station. Prior to the adoption of Jack, WBUF had a history of short-lived and rapidly changing formats (usually failed attempts to challenge other more dominant stations in the market), with the station typically changing formats every two years between 1993 and 2005.
