WBWA (89.9 FM) is a radio station in Buffalo, New York, broadcasting contemporary worship music from the Air 1 network without local deviation outside of station identification. It is owned by the Educational Media Foundation.[2] Unlike most Buffalo stations, its signal is mostly audible only in the Southtowns, and has no over-the-air availability across Lake Ontario into the Greater Toronto Area; a weak signal and adjacent-channel interference from public radio stations WNJA and WPSX make the station inaudible in most of the western Southern Tier.
