Under the leadership of news director Irv Weinstein, who had developed his own similar format under the name Eyewitness News ( and before that, Pulse Beat News and Rock and Roll Radio News ), WKBW developed much of the talent that WPVI would later hire to boost them to # 1 in the market ; anchor Jim Gardner ( replacing Larry Kane when he moved to WABC in New York ), weatherman Dave Roberts, and iconic voice-over artist Jeff Kaye are the three highest-profile WPVI personalities to have come from WKBW.

WKBW changed frequencies from 1380 kHz to 1480 kHz in the late 1920s as a result of General Order 40, and raised its power to 5, 000 watts — the first Buffalo station to raise its power to that level.

Capital Cities Communications, then known as Capital Cities Broadcasting, purchased the WKBW stations from Clinton Churchill in 1961.

In 1969, WKBW became the first radio station to air material from the The Beatles ' unreleased Get Back album.

Although WBCN was not the only radio station, or even the first station, to air material from the Get Back sessions — WKBW in Buffalo was the first, and the tapes also aired on WEBN in Cincinnati, WBAI in New York City, and KCOK in St. Louis — WBCN's broadcast of the tapes has been immortalized because it was preserved on a high-quality reel, which spawned several widely-circulated Beatles bootlegs.

Most notably, it snagged local rights to The Oprah Winfrey Show from WKBW in 1995.

By the 1950s, and continuing through the mid 1970s, many of the most powerful North American " clear channel " stations such as KDKA, WLW, CKLW, CHUM, WABC, WJR, WLS, WKBW, KFI, KAAY, KSL and a host of border blasters from Mexico pumped out Top 40 music played by popular disc jockeys.

When WKBW ( now WWKB ), switched from music to talk he moved to that station doing the same show rebranded as Night Call.

WBEN, WJYE ( with a beautiful music format ) and Top-40 outlet WKBW all fought for the top spot during this era, but WBEN had consistently solidfied the number one position by 1980.

WWKB ( formerly WKBW ) is an AM radio station in Buffalo, New York, operating on a frequency of 1520 kHz.

WKBW was founded in 1925 as a religious station, operating at the frequency of 1380 kHz.

That call sign, however, was being used for a ship at sea, so instead, Churchill chose the letters " WKBW ," which were next in the random assignment pool.

In March 1941 WKBW inaugurated a new transmitter plant south of Buffalo in the town of Hamburg, increased power to 50, 000 watts around the clock and shifted to its current dial position at 1520 kHz as a result of NARBA.

During the 1930s WKBW shared a CBS affiliation with then-sister station WGR, and in the 1940s was affiliated with the NBC " Blue " network and its corporate successor ABC, running as a conventional full service network affiliated station also offering local news and music programming.

In 1958, a few months before companion station WKBW-TV ( channel 7 ) was launched, WKBW radio abandoned its adult approach and was converted into a personality-driven full service Top 40 music radio station, featuring foreground personalities, a tight playlist of current hits and an aggressive local news department, which it continued to program with great success for over 20 years.

During the late 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, WKBW became a major force in pop radio over the East Coast.

This high power caused WKBW to blanket the entire eastern U. S. with top 40 music every night, and the station actually had a better signal at night in the western Boston suburbs, than Boston's own top 40 station, WMEX, located at 1510, right next door to WKBW at 1520.

Although WKBW was the first station to air the " Get Back " tapes, WBCN in Boston would be better known for playing them, as its broadcast of the tapes was preserved on a high-quality reel, which spawned several widely-circulated bootlegs of The Beatles.

In 1986, the WKBW stations were broken up as a result of Capital Cities ' purchase of the American Broadcasting Company.

The oldies format was an attempt to recreate the station's history as a popular music station ( and was part of a nationwide fad of " real oldies " formats on AM radio stations in the early 2000s ( decade )), and while they maintained the official WWKB calls for station identification, they also played the original " WKBW Buffalo " jingles and featured many of the classic WKBW jocks including Armstrong and Neaverth.

While not performing as well in Arbitron ratings as it had in its golden past, the revived " WKBW " earned the best ratings for the station since the 1990s, with approximately a 2 share, and was beginning to grow.

A syndicated overnight show hosted by former WKBW personality Joey Reynolds survived the format change.
