Western New York Public Broadcasting Association. This would have resulted in the WNED-TV intellectual unit moving to channel 23 (which would have made WNEQ-TV the area's primary PBS station), while channel 17 would have become a commercial station. However, the long history of channel 17 as a PBS member station made this an undesirable option for the public broadcaster due to concerns that having WNEQ-TV become the market's sole PBS outlet would cause viewer confusion and potentially reduce the amount of donations that the station would receive. As well, WNED-TV was carried on the basic cable tier of cable systems in the

affiliation when NBC moved its programming to channel 17 in August 1956. However, despite a large investment and even a high rate of set conversions to receive UHF stations, WBUF never made much headway against WBEN-TV and WGR-TV; ratings for NBC were lower than in comparable markets, and the station lost money. After more than two years, and with a third VHF station looming, NBC opted to shutter WBUF on
