WBFO-FM Wins Reporting Award from Buffalo Spree


WBFO-FM 88.7 adds another award to its growing list for 2018 – Best Reporter (Broadcast) from Buffalo Spree 2018 Best of WNY. WBFO’s news staff was chosen as a winner by Buffalo Spree readers through an online poll earlier this year.

“Most of the awards WBFO wins are from our peers in the news business,” said Dave Rosenthal, senior director of News and Public Affairs, WNED | WBFO Buffalo Toronto. “This award is especially meaningful to us because we were chosen by people who listen to WBFO and appreciate the hard work of our whole news team.”

Buffalo Spree announced WBFO’s win in the August 2018 issue of the magazine, along with dozens of other Best of WNY Winners for specific categories of food, entertainment, shopping, politicians, and news reporting. Buffalo Spree described WBFO’s news team in its announcement:

“At a time when reporters are being laid off, local newspapers shut down, and commercial radio becomes more and more devoted to the extremes, WBFO provides consistent, clear-eyed local news. It also maintains special desks for education, the arts, racial equity, and other issues important to Western New Yorkers.”
