WNBF (1290 AM) is a commercial radio station in Binghamton, New York. It airs a news/talk format and is owned by Townsquare Media. The studios and offices are on Court Street in Binghamton.
By day, WNBF is powered at 9,300 watts using a non-directional antenna. But at night, to protect other stations on AM 1290, it reduces power to 5,000 watts and switches to a three-tower array directional antenna. The transmitter is off Ingraham Hill Road in Binghamton, among the towers for other broadcast stations in the Binghamton area. WNBF is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W221EJ at 92.1 MHz.
