WEBR (1440 kHz) is an AM commercial radio station licensed to Niagara Falls, New York. It serves the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area from studios on Kenmore Avenue in Buffalo. The station is currently owned by William Yuhnke, with the license held by Kenmore Broadcasting Communications, Inc.[2] It broadcasts a full-service soft oldies radio format, mostly from the 1970s. On weekends, it airs programs featuring Polish and Italian music, oldies and adult standards shows.

By day, WEBR transmits with 1,000 watts of power, using a non-directional antenna pattern. At night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1440 AM, power is reduced to 55 watts. The transmitter is on Buffalo Avenue (NY State Route 384) in Niagara Falls, near South Hyde Park Boulevard.[3]
