Bills Expand Radio Reach into Jets, Giants, Dolphins
23-Station Network Unveiled for 2026
The Bills have rolled out a 23‑station radio network that stretches from the heart of New York City into northwest Pennsylvania. The announcement, first reported by Pro Football Talk, aims to keep every member of Bills Mafia connected when the 2026 season kicks off. Most of the affiliates line up along the border with New York, giving fans in rival markets a direct line to Buffalo action.
New York City and Florida Nodes
One of the most notable outlets is ESPN New York 1050 (WEPN‑AM), which will broadcast Bills games to the Big Apple. That station sits much closer to the Jets and Giants than to Buffalo, highlighting the aggressive reach of the Bills’ expansion. Meanwhile, ESPN West Palm 106.3 (WESP‑FM) will carry games into the Dolphin‑dominated South Florida region. The Florida addition reflects the growing presence of upstate New York transplants and seasonal residents who follow the team.
Market Context and Fan Impact
Ironically, Buffalo is the only NFL franchise actually headquartered in New York, while the Jets and Giants play in New Jersey. The Bills have outpaced those rivals in recent playoff success, making the push into their territories a statement of confidence. By securing New York and Florida airwaves, the Bills tap into existing fan bases that may be hungry for a winning alternative. The move also sends a signal to other teams that a strong following can open doors beyond a team’s geographic borders.
