WBFO Listener Commentaries are a great way to shine a light on what makes Buffalo-Niagara great... our people!

The sheer diversity of all of the listeners that have contributed commentaries to WBFO makes for an interesting and enlightening glimpse of what's in the hearts and minds of this community.

When you submit a commentary for consideration for airing on WBFO, we ask you to comment on issues in the news, or to tell a story about something important in your life. Radio essays like the ones that appear on WBFO's Listener Commentary series connect us to the news in a new and more personal way.

To ensure the continued excellence of the WBFO Listener Commentary Series, we seek individuals who are keen observers of our world, people who are well-informed, and who can illuminate the events and ideas that surround us.

Our Listener Commentaries are part of our effort to capture the authentic flavor of this community and allow a variety of voices to be heard, and because WBFO is an independent, publicly-funded radio station, we can take the time to offer this extra public service.

WBFO is the only radio station in Buffalo offering listener commentaries.

We hope you'll read this as you prepare to submit your radio essay.
