Welcome to the Buffalo Broadcasters Association. Our goal is to include all broadcasters, both current and pioneer broadcasters, to be members of our organization. Our website is a one-stop place for information on everything from the rich history of Buffalo Broadcasting to the latest information happening in the Western New York radio and television industry.

To remember and honor the people, past and present, who have contributed to the history of radio and television in Western New York.

To encourage future generations of Buffalo broadcasters in pursuit of their profession.
During the pioneering decades of broadcasting, Buffalo, New York played a key role in station development and was a talent pool for the national networks. Many Buffalo Broadcasters played significant roles in the development of the Broadcast Industry.
The Buffalo Broadcasters Association was founded as a 501-C3 non-profit organization in 1996 for the purpose of collecting and preserving artifacts and the history of Broadcasting in Upstate New York. Our ongoing goal is to recognize and honor the people, past and present, which have worked and contributed to Radio and Television in our broadcast region through an annual Hall of Fame celebration.
Our long range goal is the creation of a museum facility to display the memorabilia of Broadcasting, and tell the story of our people.
Through our mentor program, our members will be available to support, guide and encourage the next generation of Broadcasters and to ensure that our rich history is preserved.
