WBBF-AM 1120 is a radio station located in Buffalo, New York and broadcasting at a frequency of 1120 kHz on the AM dial with a daytime power of 1 kW (1000 watts).
The station is owned by Citadel Broadcasting and is operated under a Lease Management Agreement by the locally owned progressive media group, Niagara Independent Media.
The WBBF calls were used on several radio stations in nearby Rochester for over fifty years, including stations now known as WROC-AM, WBZA and most recently, WFKL, who dropped the calls in early 2005. Then-WMNY picked up the WBBF calls shortly thereafter.
The station had been a part of the "Totally Gospel" network until December 2006, when said format moved to a stronger 24 hour signal on sister WHLD.
The station is now a Spanish language music and talk station, the first of its kind in western New York, operating under the name Fiesta Latina - La Voz de la Communidad. All of the Spanish Language programming on WBBF is locally produced in Buffalo, New York.
WBBF is also a Pacifica Radio affiliate, broadcasting the Democracy Now! news program with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez weekdays at 8:00 AM. The Pacifica programming is supported by the community media group, Radio Free Buffalo (http://radiofreebuffalo.org). Said programming was displaced when WHLD dropped its progressive talk format.
