WUFO (1080 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Amherst, New York, and serving the Buffalo metropolitan area. It is owned by the Visions Multi Media Group headed by Sheila. L. Brown and it broadcasts a hybrid Urban AC and Classic Hip Hop radio format. Its studios are on Broadway Avenue in Buffalo.
WUFO transmits 1,000 watts non-directional. WUFO is a daytimer station because 1080 AM is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A stations WTIC Hartford and KRLD Dallas, so WUFO must sign off at sunset to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Genesee Street in Cheektowaga. Programming is heard around the clock on 35-watt FM translator W243DX at 96.5 MHz. It uses the FM translator frequency in its moniker, "Power 96.5."
