I've always professed a fondness for the logotype of WBFO, even if the University at Buffalo station only broadcasts NPR news for a few hours on the day.
I remember seeing it on bumper stickers in the car parking lots-- i swear they were only to be found on older european junkers, like a mustard-yellow Volvo 240 diesel, or a white 1979 BMW 320.
But the others are in the league with WBFO and WBUR.

 Good, Gray NPR
In doing so, they displeased the power brokers in the new universe of public broadcasting and contributed to their own exclusion from the new public radio entity, which fell into the hands of a younger generation of educational radio managers, a few of whom had direct ties to the 1960s counterculture.
Chief among them was Bill Siemering, who ran WBFO at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Under Siemering, WBFO provided coverage of the campus antiwar movement and the student strikes that were broken up by the police.
