Best Indiana Radio Stations of All Time

[Icangelp]

You people are way too young.
I'm talking pre 1970 and AM, because I left Indiana in 1968, never to return.

1310 WISH Some very good (and bad) DJ's passed through before the name change to WIFE.
1310 WIFE Not my cup of tea, but still a good station.
1070 WIBC When I was growing up, I would have never thought so, but WIBC was one one great station with very talented and unique on-air personalities, news people and programs. H*ll, even the Farm Director had a great sense of humor. Somebody help me with his name. The music sucked, though.
1190 WOWO Great personalities but a weak playlist.
990 WERK A great little station.
1470 WHUT (Anderson) In my opinion, also a pretty good little station.
1010 WCSI A great small market station and home of Sam Simmermaker.
Bubbling under 
810 WIGO Luke Walton's station featuring Easy Gwynn.
1110 WHYT Noblesville

At its peak, WOWO could hang with the best stations anywhere in America. Mid-70's era WMEE (The Big 1380) was darn near as good. While I'm here, might as well put in a vote for late 70's-early 80's WXKE/Fort Wayne (Rock 104)...Very nice mix of standard AOR and early New Wave.

My list would start with the 1972 to 1976 incarnation of WIBC.

It would be filled out with some of the long time signals around the state that have evolved through the years including

WOWO, WSBT, WIKY, WTHI, WASK, WAZY, WCSI, WIOU and WJOB (though the Hammond station has struggled mightily over the years).

Probably add WLYV, Ft Wayne in it's Top 40 days before WMEE wiped them out. They weren't a bad country station either...until WQHK wiped them out. (I'll vote for the AM WQHK as well, great mix of country with just enough crossover).

[BobOnTheJob]

While I never was within earshot of WERK 990 in the early 70's, the air checks tell me that one belongs on this list. WNDE 1260 in 1975-1977 when Bill Hennes & Chris Bailey were programming it was even better.

[gr8oldies]

WERK really needs to be represented on reelradio, if anyone has an aircheck they could donate. I'd say the same for WMEE AM and WLYV.

WERK blew away 'HUT back in the 70s,though "the mighty 1470" had a 1kw non directional daytime stick....WERK had the talent.  J.J. In the morning (Jim Jacobs)was pretty cool on 'HUT though. Tom Sidwell was ate up with his long hair, T-shirt and wearing a plastic ear on a chain.
