The Wolf (WLKK-FM) is Audacy’s new Country station in Buffalo. Previously known as Alternative Buffalo, the station will be heard on 107.7 and FM translator 104.7. The station will launch with 5,000 songs commercial-free.
“This is a great opportunity for us to add country to our content offering, and we’re delighted to now offer our listeners a new choice for country music,” said Tim Holly, Senior Vice and Market Manager, Audacy Buffalo. “Whether serving as the soundtrack to backyard barbecues or your commute to work, The Wolf will be home to fan favorites from some of today’s top country artists, and we look forward to celebrating this launch with our audience.”
It was my favorite station. I have no other station that compares. Just what we need, another country station. I am shocked and obviously not listening. But then you knew that.
People listened to Alt 107.7 because they DON’T want to hear mainstream stuff! That’s the entire point! How did the company not think of this???
agree with all the comments above! BAD decision! I am so not happy rn.
Such a crap move. Couldn’t you have just changed one of the 2 channels to crappy country and leave one to alternative, it’s not like you had competition.
How do you take an alternative station and make it into country. Horrible choice. That was the only station that you could get that much of variety of music genres.
Absolutely insane decision when Buffalo already has a country station. Not listening anymore
I listened to alt buffalo for years. I got it in Rochester and it was an awesome station. Even better than the alternative station here in Rochester. I attended a couple kerfuffles. I absolutely hate country so i will not be listening anymore. Such a shame. It was a really great station. if youreach out to audicy they ignore you or delete your comment
Won’t be listening, loved the Alternative station!
What a horrible decision!!
Shouldn’t have changed it, I won’t be listening to country. I would like to know where I can find all the stuff I enjoyed listening to before audacy decided to make such a bad decision.
Was one of my favorite stations and now it’s hillbilly!!! Why, why would they change over to hillbilly!?!?! This crap is now off my memory and will never be listened to again!
What a terrible decision by Audacy!
Audacy — Entercom, at the time — effectively did the same thing to the alt rock FM they acquired here in DFW. It is still the alt format, but it is unlistenable, with all national jocks, a different-enough playlist, and endless commercial stop sets.
So, for a listener like me, it’s basically the same as what happened in Buffalo, since I no longer tune in to the station here. Another big radio company running things into the ground…who does that?!?!
Damn. My dad loved the alternative station. I can’t believe they changed it.
