Line 28:
Unlike its counterpart WBFO, which until its 2012 cessation of operations still had music programming overnights and weekends, WNED focused entirely on news and talk programming. Several of the programs on WNED and WBFO overlaped, with different production teams (for instance, [[Morning Edition]] airs on both WNED and WBFO, each with its own host for local inserts). With WNED's takeover of WBFO, the duplication of programming was originally expected to end.<ref>http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/article674904.ece</ref> However, instead, on March 2, 2012, WBFO and WNED began completely simulcasting a combined programming stream, with neither station having any unique programming of its own. This led to the much of the news and information programming that had aired on the weekend being replaced by NPR entertainment programs, such as [[Wait Wait Don't Tell Me]] and [[Car Talk]]. Additionally, WNED-AM, which had not aired music since 1993, now airs Blues programming with WBFO on Saturday and Sunday evenings.<ref>http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wbfo/guide.guidemain?action=viewGuide</ref>
WNED, with the weaker broadcast signal and smaller listenership, lost more of its programs in the merger than WBFO did, with sixteen programs no longer aired in the Buffalo radio market.
