WGRF (96.9 FM) is a commercial radio station in Buffalo, New York, branded as "97 Rock".

The station is owned by Cumulus Media and broadcasts a classic rock radio format, mostly from the 1970s and 1980s.

At first, WGR-AM-FM mostly simulcast a full service, middle of the road (MOR) format of popular adult music, talk and news.

By the late 1960s, WGR-FM switched to beautiful music, playing quarter hour sweeps of soft, instrumental cover versions of popular songs.

The original "97 Rock" era featured Program Director and DJ John McGhan.

[9] Evening jock "Slick Tom" Tiberi, a member of the WGRF airstaff since 1982, was fired from the station in July 2024, after a Facebook post that Tiberi, who is outspoken about his left-wing political views, posted featuring former President Donald Trump in a coffin garnered renewed attention following the assassination attempt on Trump that month.

Tiberi attributed his firing to a combination of a vast right-wing conspiracy and corporate belt-tightening at Cumulus, noting that evening jocks like him were increasingly becoming obsolete and that the controversy, especially following Lederman's, provided a convenient pretext to cut his position in favor of automation or syndicated content.
