Buffalo Toronto Public Media is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1959, it employs approximately 100 individuals. The company specializes in broadcast media production and distribution, focusing on creating and disseminating media content.
Buffalo Toronto Public Media applied to the FCC on January 30, 2026, to convert its classical station, WNED-FM, to commercial status, enabling it to sell advertising. This action is part of the organization's strategy to diversify revenue streams after a loss of CPB funding. Previously, on August 27, 2025, WNED migrated to a fully IP-based infrastructure, utilizing Calrec Type R consoles, cores, and headless controllers, which allows its three radio stations to operate remotely during severe weather like a snowstorm. Earlier that month, on August 8, 2025, Buffalo Toronto Public Media announced a partnership with The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra to present "Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey" on March 15, 2026, at Kleinhans Music Hall. This followed U.S. Congressman Tim Kennedy's visit to Buffalo Toronto Public Media's NPR station on July 18, 2025, where he spoke against a House vote to approve a rescission package that included cuts to public media funding.
