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-AM. 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.

In addition to its classical music format, it is also the radio home of A Prairie Home Companion in the Buffalo area; WNED has brought the show to Buffalo twice for a live performance.
