WBBF

[2] Because AM 1120 is reserved for Class A, clear channel station KMOX in St. Louis, WBBF must leave the air at night to avoid interference.

All of the Spanish-language programming on WBBF which was initially produced by the Totally Gospel Radio Network was sold to Assemblia Iglesia, a local Hispanic ministry headed by Pastor Sam Rivera.

[citation needed] When Cumulus Media switched WHLD from adult standards to CBS Sports Radio early in 2013, the company planned to move the former WHLD format to WBBF, but people in the Spanish speaking community wrote to Cumulus about the station's value to Western New York Latinos.

On February 27, 2021, WBBF dropped its simulcast with WHTT and flipped to classic hip-hop, branded as "98.9 The Vibe", with programming sourced from the co-owned Westwood One Radio Network.

The 98.9 FM translator indirectly reunites the WBBF call letters with one of the frequencies it used during its time on Rochester radio.

The format flip was the closing domino in a series of format changes that had taken place in Buffalo over the previous month, most directly nearby WKSE on 98.5 (the market's previous heritage Top 40/CHR station) shifting to an adult lean following the sale of its own hot-AC sister station WTSS to a religious broadcaster in June.
