For over sixty-nine years, WIBC broadcast on the AM radio frequency of 1070 kHz. On December 26, 2007, WIBC's call letters and news/talk programming moved to 93.1 FM, a station which has had various call letters and formats since its sign-on in 1961. Also on that date, the 1070 AM frequency assumed the call letters WFNI and the nickname "1070 The Fan".〔(93.1 WIBC FM – It's A New Day )〕
==WIBC history==
1070 AM WIBC went on the air on October 30, 1938 as a 1-kilowatt daytimer station.〔 The other heritage stations in Indianapolis were WFBM (now WNDE), WIRE (now WXNT), and WISH/WIFE (now WTLC). In its early days, it was the Indianapolis home of the Mutual Broadcasting System. WIBC would be considered one of the greatest MOR (middle of the road) format stations placing a huge emphasis on personalities both on the air and in the producing of the station promos: During the '70s and into the early '80s there was: Gary Todd (mornings 6am-9am) brought in from KOL Seattle, Jerry Baker (9am-11am) who was also the voice of Indiana Hoosier basketball), Paul Page who served as an award-winning newsman at WIBC in the early '70s then flew the first Indy traffic helicopter until a serious crash nearly killed him in 1977 (He became the Voice of the Indianapolis 500 an moved to network television). Orly Knutson (middays-Noon-2pm) brought in from Minneapolis), Chuck Riley (from WKYC Cleveland) afternoons 2pm-6pm before becoming a very successful v/o talent in L.A. Others personalities who were on the air at WIBC were Big John Gillis (traffic from the Helicopter 1070), Pete Sullivan (from WHAS Louisville), Bob Simpson (WSNY Columbus) and Jeff Pigeon (KSTP Minneapolis) who went on to do Mornings after Gary Todd retired. There were 3 major production voices responsible for most of the stations promos at one time or another during the '70s & '80s: Billy Moore (deceased) from WHAS Louisville, KY., John E. Douglas (brought in from WNOX Knoxville) and Reb Porter, long time Indy personality from WIFE-AM.
A longtime fixture was former News Director Fred Heckman, who began with WIBC in 1957, abruptly resigning in 1993 under a dispute with its then-owners. WIBC became a talk radio station in 1993. He returned in 1994 after the station was purchased by Emmis, and remained until his 2000 retirement. His daily "My Town Indy" radio essays, which ran for thirty years, were among the station's most enduring favorites.
