We connect audiences with artists — guiding them to the discovery of new music from emerging artists and from those they know and love. We are committed to showcasing the work of diverse artists from Western New York and Southern Ontario who are not yet receiving the attention they deserve.

The Bridge connects music lovers with music makers and engages in the community, supporting musicians, venues, and listeners. Basically, it’s college radio for adults.

Buffalo Toronto Public Media’s community-supported alternative music service, The Bridge can be heard on WBFO HD-2, WNED HD-2, or streamed here on our on wbfo.org/the-bridge, smart speakers, or our apps.

We are looking for original bands with roots in Western New York and Southern Ontario to feature on our station.

Got a few hours to spare? Love WBFO The Bridge? We are looking for volunteers to be part of our Street Team.

Now, after years of memorable shows amplified from its various staging areas, Artpark has become one of the country's distinctive, internationally celebrated destinations. Hear Here is a production of Buffalo Toronto Public Media for Visit Buffalo Niagara.
