WNED-FM is an American radio station broadcasting in Buffalo, New York, at a frequency of 94.5 MHz. It offers a classical music format.

WNED-FM simulcasts its classical format on WNJA 89.7 FM in Jamestown, New York.

History

WNED-FM was launched on June 6, 1960, as WEBR-FM. In the early 1970s, it was renamed WBCE and then WREZ. In 1975, the Western New York Public Broadcasting Association bought it and WEBR. In 1977, it was renamed WNED-FM and began offering a classical music format that same year.

WNED-FM celebrated its thirtieth anniversary of broadcasting all classical music in April 2007. It is the only station broadcasting only classical music 24 hours serving the Buffalo/Toronto market. WNED-FM airs a combination of classical music programs created locally and nationally syndicated.

Nationally syndicated broadcasts of the New York Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, and the Chicago Symphony can be heard on WNED-FM. Additionally, Philharmonic Friday features the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.^[1]

Local programs

WNED-FM has an extensive music library, which allows them to produce local programming from 6AM to 8PM daily and throughout much of the weekend. WNED also produces a Fine Arts Report for Western New York and Southern Ontario, which can be heard multiple times daily and found at wned.org.
