===Buffalo Toronto Public Media=== WBFO, along with WNED-FM-TV, began collectively referring to themselves as "Buffalo Toronto Public Media" (BTPM) on February 4, 2020.<ref name="bn-buffalotorontopublicmedia">{{cite news |last1=Pergament |first1=Alan |title=A brand change for Buffalo's public broadcasting stations embraces Canada |url=https://buffalonews.com/2020/02/04/a-brand-change-for-buffalos-public-broadcasting-stations-embraces-canada/ |access-date=February 4, 2020 |work=[[The Buffalo News]] |date=February 4, 2020 |language=en-us}}</ref><ref name="wbfo-buffalotorontopublicmedia">{{cite news |title=What is Buffalo Toronto Public Media? |url=https://news.wbfo.org/post/what-buffalo-toronto-public-media |access-date=February 4, 2020 |work=WBFO |date=February 4, 2020 |language=en}}</ref> The rebranding was in part to better identify WBFO and the WNED stations as part of a single organization. It also reflects WNED-TV's significant Canadian viewership and financial support, though cable and satellite carriage. WNED officials told ''[[The Buffalo News]]'' that the organization's radio stations have minimal listenership in Canada.<ref name="bn-buffalotorontopublicmedia"/> WBFO leases an as-yet unutilized satellite studio in [[Toronto]], Canada.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/article674904.ece |title=Gusto- Ultimate guide to everything Buffalo |website=Buffalonews.com |date=2015-11-03 |access-date=2016-02-21}}</ref> Previously, WBFO broadcast from the South campus (a.k.a. Main Street Campus) of the [[University at Buffalo, The State University of New York]]. In April 2025, as part of a move to unify the on-air branding of the organization's stations, WBFO rebranded as ''BTPM NPR'', erasing any reference to the stations' call signs from public branding.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-04 |title=WBFO/WNED Consolidate Under BTPM Branding |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/298191/wbfo-wned-consolidate-under-btpm-branding/ |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=RadioInsight |language=en-US}}</ref>
