Hard to judge since some long running stations have had good periods and not so good periods. WNAP have seemed great at the time, but in retrospect they may not have been so great, just new and different. 

[Timewarp]

WFBQ playing Classic Rock for 30 years must be the best.

WFMS not my favorite but everyone elses.

WGEE 1590 was a great station.

I liked WKLU under Russ the Rebel and Bruce the Pirate.

WFHB Firehouse in Bloomington

WECI Richmond,

WFIU, WBST, WBAA tie

WIFE 1310, brought Top-40 radio to a new level when it hit the airwaves in Indianapolis.
although listening to airchecks of them today, they don't sound as good now as they did from my memory.

KISS 99 and Fred Moore. For those of us who listened to Fred, we knew that since the dawn of man there has been none better. If you listened to Fred, all of your sins were forgiven. Fred helped us all get up and then get back down again. He gave us 7 minutes of Knock on Wood from Amii Stewart, not 3 1/2 minutes like those stuffy stations were doing. He even threw in the Logical Song every once in a while so people could rest up for a minute. Tom Robinson said Q95 ain't no disco. Fred said that was too bad for them. Tom agreed. That's why after all of that KISS 99 bashing, Tom joined KISS 99 with one of the most pathetic shows I've ever heard. Smoke 'em if you got 'em Tom, I still miss listening to you at the Q.

1. the former "990 WERK" in Muncie when it was an AM
2. "UN-disputedly" WOWO
3. WTLC in Indy.... best R&B in Indiana
4. WMEE (when it was on AM-1380)
5. WNAP
6. WGOM in Marion when it had live Top 40 jocks in the early 70s
7. WLBC-FM in Muncie..although at the time automated,it was using Drake-Chenault's "Solid Gold" tapes which made it sound tighter than most automated formats.

I wish I was around in the 60s and 70s to hear some of the best radio of all time.  Since I was born in the 70s and raised in the 80s and 90s, here are my favorites...

1. WGBD Lafayette (the alternative rock version of The Rocket in the late 90s)
2. WHHH Indianapolis (the Shirk era of "Hoosier Hot 96"--great jocks, music, and processing)
3. WQLK Richmond (as both K and Kicks--large market sound for an unranked market)
4. WOWO Fort Wayne
5. WZZQ Terre Haute

Stations I wish I had a chance to hear...

WIIZ Lafayette
WIFE Indianapolis
WXLW Indianapolis
WERK 990 Muncie during the top 40 days
WNAP Indianapolis of the 70s

Rowdy, I second your WNAP from the 70's!  It was great!
