93 WIBC

What 93 WIBC does

93 WIBC is a traditional FM talk radio station broadcasting on 93.1 MHz from Indianapolis, Indiana, operating as a property of Interactive One, LLC, a subsidiary of Urban One (formerly Radio One). The station delivers news, conservative political commentary, local sports coverage (Indianapolis Motor Speedway Indy 500, Indiana Pacers, Indiana Fever, college athletics), and community information including traffic, weather, and breaking news, anchored by on-air personalities such as Tony Katz, Hammer & Nigel, Kendall and Casey, and Tony Kinnett.

The station's distribution stack combines over-the-air FM transmission with a digital surface area: web streaming via wibc.com, native iOS and Android applications, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant smart-speaker integration, and a podcast center of 12+ on-demand shows distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and the Omny Studio platform. Live video is streamed weekdays via a branded YouTube channel, and the station operates a text-club engagement line for first-party audience data.

WIBC is free to listeners and monetizes exclusively through advertising, sponsorships, and promotional content, with no public rate card disclosed. End users are broad — adults 25-54 across the Indianapolis MSA and central Indiana, plus any internet-connected listener globally via digital channels. The customer base for advertisers is a fragmented long tail of local SMBs, regional brands, and consumer advertisers, supplemented by promotional partnerships with sports franchises and Indiana government entities.
