- WUFO abstract "WUFO, Western New York's first radio station programming to the African-American community, began in 1961 when famed station owner Gordon McLendon moved WYSL from 1080 to 1400kc. McLendon sold the 1080 frequency to Leonard Walk, a Jewish man with a group of Black formatted stations (WAMO Pittsburgh, WILD Boston). When Leonard Walk bought the 1080 frequency in 1961, the original desired call letters were \"WJOE\" for \"W-JOE in Buffalo\". Since the WJOE calls were unavailable, the owner instead chose the \"WUFO\" call letters and named the station \"WU-FO in Buffalo\". These call letters provided the rhyming and identification with Buffalo that the owners desired. WUFO's new format began on November 2, 1962 with famed Cleveland Disc Jockey Eddie O'Jay as the first on the air.WUFO has provided the nation with some of the most popular Black announcers. Some of the announcers that worked at WUFO over the years include Frankie Crocker, Gary Byrd, Herb Hamlett, Jerry Bledsoe, Thelka McCall and her son Dwayne Dancer Donovan, Don Allen,Jerry Young,(Youngblood), Don Mullins, Sunny Jim Kelsey, Mansfield Manns Jr,III., Al Brisbane, Jimmy Lyons, H.F. Stone, Chucky T, Al Parker, Gary Lanier, Kelly Carson, Darcel Howell, Mouzon, David Wilson, Byron Pitts, Mark Vann, \"The Discotizer\" Keith Pollard, and Jheri-Lynn. Jimmie Raye 1969-1971 morning show 6AM-10AM was number one for the time slot. He moved to LA to record music and produce his TV Special for NBC in 1976, \"The Soul Thing.\"In 1973 the Sheridan Broadcasting Corporation purchased Dynamic Broadcasting making WUFO the only Black owned station in Western New York. Today the station plays Gospel music with community oriented talk and Soul Oldies on the weekends. Thirty-four years later, Sheridan still owns the station.As of 2010, WUFO is the only A.M. gospel station in Western New York; a competing gospel station was operated by the Totally Gospel Radio Network on WBBF from 1997 to 2006 and on WHLD from 2006 to 2010, is currently now broadcasting on WFWO.".
