Summary

Description
English: As seen on a September 2022 evening, the building at 1580 Kenmore Avenue in Buffalo, New York does double duty as headquarters of the Liberty Cab Company and the studios of radio station WEBR, both of which are owned by local businessman William Yuhnke. This nondescript single-story brick building was constructed about 1960 as a showroom for Dusing & Hunt, a manufacturer of fireproof metal doors, and was purchased by Liberty in 2015 to house its taxi fleet. As for the radio station, its history is one of the most storied in the Niagara Frontier: based in Niagara Falls with the call letters WJJL for the majority of its existence, it boasted a floridly diverse schedule locally programmed for Niagara Falls, with a rich roster of on-air talent many of whom would go on to illustrious careers elsewhere in radio, an active news operation covering the city and its vicinity in Niagara County, as well as specialty shows for the local Hispanic and Italian communities. Yuhnke bought the station from its previous owners in 2020, changed its call letters to WEBR (which local listeners remember was for many years the callsign for AM 970, one of Buffalo's earliest radio stations), moved its studios to the present location (the transmitter building, along with the station's official FCC registration, remain in Niagara Falls), and curates a playlist focused on soft oldies, jazz standards, and modern adult contemporary.
