Radio WBLK-FM (We Jam Your Strong Songs)

WBLK is an Urban contemporary FM radio station licensed to Depew that serves Buffalo. WBLK plays the musical genres of hip hop, R&B, urban contemporary gospel, and soul. WBLK celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2005, making WBLK the oldest urban FM radio station in the United States of America. Its transmitter is located in Buffalo.

WBLK-FM began in 1965 as an urban contemporary station that primarily played R&B and soul. The station was founded by legendary Buffalo radio personality George Lorenz ("Hound Dog"), who had earlier championed rhythm-and-blues music on other area stations such as WXRA, WINE (both of these stations were predecessors of today's WUFO, 1080 AM), WJJL, and WKBW. Lorenz's voice was heard on the station from its inception until his death in 1972. WBLK can be classified as a "heritage" station; it has held the same basic format and call signs for its entire existence, and as such, it is one of the longest continuously running formats in Buffalo radio today. The station also regularly ranks in the top 5 radio stations in Buffalo's Arbitron ratings. Some on air personality's were, Roosevelt Tucker, Bradley J. Cool, Chuckie T, Mansfield Mann's, Gary Lanier, Ron Baskin, Don Allen Sr, Don Allen Jr, Don Robinson, & Freddie Patrick. WBLK went from a mono signal to stereo in 1974. With a playlist called the Funky Forty, at 3 PM that Monday when Don Robinson flipped the switch and the stereo light flickered on the first song was "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye.

Contrary to popular belief, despite WBLK's format and target audience, its call letters do not stand for the word "BLacK" per se; rather, they are a tribute to Benjamin L. Kulek, who was a major financial backer of the station when it first went on the air.

In August of 1995 WBLK's original owners and founders sold the station to Boston-based American Radio systems. In 1997 Westinghouse would purchase WBLK and all of American Radio stations for $2.6 Billion. Westinghouse would be purchased by Infinity Broadcasting in 1999. Infinity Broadcasting would become CBS Radio in 2003.

WBLK began streaming its programming on the Internet on November 13, 2006 and was sold by CBS Radio to Regent Communications (now Townsquare Media) in December 2006.

In late 2009, WBLK launched an ongoing consciousness awakening campaign to educate the community to rediscover the awareness of themselves.
