Media in Buffalo, New York

Radio stations from Toronto can also be heard in some parts of the area. CJED-FM and CFLZ-FM have a city-grade signal of Buffalo and nearby suburbs, while the latter's transmitter is located less than 5 miles away from downtown.[1] Rimshot signals from Rochester are also sometimes audible in Buffalo.

Although no cable stations are currently, as of 2017, based in Buffalo, Charter Communications has an affiliate and news bureau in the city, as does Spectrum Sports (until its closure in 2017) and MSG Western New York. Channels that have previously been headquartered in Buffalo include Pinwheel/Nickelodeon (1979 to 1981), Empire Sports Network (1991 to 2005), and Bridges TV (2004 to 2012).

In addition, Buffalo residents can also pick-up stations from the neighbouring Greater Toronto Area with a suitable aerial antenna or cable subscription. CTV flagship station CFTO/Toronto and CBC flagship CBLT/Toronto are carried on Charter/Spectrum and Atlantic Broadband in the immediate Buffalo/Niagara Falls areas, according to their channel lineups.
