WUSW (1270 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Niagara Falls, New York, and serving the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area. It is owned by Cumulus Media, with a sale to Buddy Shula pending, and simulcasts WECK.
By day, WUSW is powered at 5,000 watts. But to protect other stations from interference, at night it reduces power to 1,000 watts. The transmitter is off Cloverbank Road at Sawgrass Court in Hamburg. It uses a directional antenna with a five-tower array. The studios are on James E. Casey Drive in Buffalo along with its Cumulus Media sister stations.
