Big Changes for WIBC 1070

Author: Jason Bean, Category: Brickyard 400, Business, Indiana Fever, Indiana Pacers, Indianapolis Colts, Indianapolis Golf, Indianapolis Indians, Indy 500, News, Sports, US Grand Prix - F1

I’ve been a listener to WIBC’s afternoon drive with Dave “The King” Wilson, Joe Staysniak and Matt Hibblen since back to 1998 or so when I first moved to Indianapolis.

An announcement today says that Emmis Communications, the parent company of WIBC is moving WIBC 1070AM to an all-sports format and changing their WNOU 93.1 FM station all-talk. The new station will be called WIBC-FM. During the transition 93.1 will begin playing Christmas music from now through Christmas.

In one of the biggest local radio station format shake-ups in recent years, Emmis Communications Corp. announced today that WIBC-AM 1070 will become an all-sports station. The station will be an affiliate of ESPN Radio.

Meanwhile, the company’s rock and hip-hop station, WNOU-FM 93.1, will change to a news-talk format, a rarity on the local FM dial.

WNOU now will be called WIBC-FM. It essentially will air the same news and talk programming that had been on WIBC-AM 1070.

The move was launched at noon today with WNOU becoming all-Christmas through December. Emmis officials said they launched “93 Days of Christmas” as a transition period.

I’ll be interested in hearing what everyone has to say about the change on the drive home today.

Absolutely Beautiful Day in Indianapolis

Author: Jason Bean, Category: General, Indianapolis Golf, Weather

Today was an absolutely beautiful day in Indianapolis. Did you notice. The sky looked like a painting. A wide expanse of perfect blue dotted with hundres of white cotton-candy clouds.

The temperature was a very comfortable mid-80’s and the humidity almost felt non-existent.

Can someone please answer me one question though?

Why wasn’t I on the golf course?
