Editing WBFO (section)

===Switch to News and Information===
WNED purchased WBFO in July 2011.  The new owner incorporated some of the channel's news features and staff into a combined lineup which debuted on March 1, 2012.  Once listeners began tuning in WBFO for news and information, Western New York Public Broadcasting could sell 970 AM.  On November 30, 2012, 970 WNED was sold to [[Christian radio]] owner [[Crawford Broadcasting]].  The call letters on 970 changed to [[WDCZ]].

All of the network music programming WBFO had carried on weekends was dropped. WBFO became exclusively a news and information station.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/23/spectrum-sports-car-talk-repeats-soon-will-ending/ | title=Connection helped Filipowski land job at Channel 4| date=2017-08-23}}</ref>). Among the programs eliminated from the old WBFO were the last jazz programs originating from a Buffalo area radio station at that time.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/article743568.ece |title=20 radio programs disappear in merger - Entertainment - the Buffalo News |access-date=2012-03-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302202132/http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/article743568.ece |archive-date=2012-03-02 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121129/LIFE/121129210/1057 |title=WNED-AM sale to Crawford Broadcasting finalized - Life & Arts |newspaper=[[The Buffalo News]] |date=2012-11-29 |access-date=2016-02-21}}</ref>
