WROC is an AM radio station licensed to Rochester, New York. On September 2, 2008, WROC changed from an Air America affiliate to an ESPN affiliate. [ [http://ltradio.blogspot.com/2008/07/goodbye-rochester.html LTR - The alternative media resource: Goodbye Rochester? ] ] The format is closely affiliated with Buffalo sister station WGR, and carries Buffalo Sabres games, the afternoon show "Schopp and the Bulldog", and ESPN Radio. [Fybush, Scott. [http://www.fybush.com/NERW/2008/080818/nerw.html NorthEast Radio Watch] . 18 August 2008.]

The station's call sign is a reference to WROC-TV; while the stations are not and have never been co-owned, WROC-AM has an agreement with WROC-TV to provide local news coverage, and the borrowing of the WROC call signs from WROC-TV is included in this agreement. (The WROC-AM call signs were previously held at 1280 kHz, now WHTK, which was originally co-owned with WROC-TV.)

As WBBF, 950 AM was a popular Top 40 music station in Rochester for many years. The WBBF calls are now in use in Buffalo, New York.
