WBNY Back After Being Hit by Vandals
Fortunately, WBNY 91.3 FM, the student-run and influential radio station at Buffalo State College, is back on the air after being taken off of the airwaves following vandals causing damage to the station in early August.
The damage was more cosmetic than operational, and WBNY sounds like it is back to its regular summer broadcast schedule, and will soon return to a full schedule when the new semester starts. As an alumni, I was fortunate to be one of those people filling in the blanks with occasional air shifts this sumer, and am grateful to have been asked.
It is bad enough that this vandalism occurred at the station I was on the air at in 1984 and 1985, and hold some very cherished memories over and have made some very good friends at, but the timing could probably not be worse, with WBNY celebrating its 25th anniversary this fall. I will be taking part as an on-air DJ, panelist and simple enjoyer of concerts, events and the company of good friends I mostly do not get to see often enough. It takes more than the senseless actions of a few douchebags to stop the radio station.
When the full celebration schedule has been determined, I will print it here.
