What is "wfni"

WFNI, known as 1070 The Fan, is a radio station in Indianapolis, Indiana owned by Emmis Communications. The station operates on the AM radio frequency of 1070 kHz. The studios are located at 40 Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis. Transmitter and antenna are located near Interstate 65 and Indiana SR 334 in Boone County, northwest of Indianapolis.

The 1070 AM frequency is the former home of WIBC, which had broadcast on that frequency since 1938. On October 8, 2007, it was announced 1 that effective December 26, the WIBC call letters and news/talk programming would move to 93.1 FM, and that WIBC's sports programming would remain on 1070 AM, joined by programming from ESPN Radio effective January 7, 2008. The new call letters were announced in December 2.

In February 2013, Emmis launched FM 107.5 the Fan on newly purchased repeater W298BB. It simulcasts some of 1070's local sports talk and play-by-play while airing more ESPN Radio programming than its AM cousin. That will all change on October 16, 2015, when it signs on another repeater, W228CX (93.5), which will simulcast WFNI's programming, while 107.5 will take the ESPN Radio programming full-time.
