WFNI's Translators Line Up

Hoosierky said:
Which is the same station (WFNI). How can 107.5 have local sports (high school) when 1070 has, say the Pacer's?

The HD subchannel is not a translator. It can simulcast an AM station 99% of the time, but can still originate its own programming since it airs on a full-powered station.
 
Typed this up on the "wrong" thread, copying here for completeness.

WIBC-HD2+107.5 is not the same program stream as WFNI+93.5. WFNI+93.5 appears to be their "primary" signal . It runs Mike & Mike and their slate of local hosts during the day, and NBC Sports Radio at night.

WIBC-HD2+107.5 runs the ESPN Radio feed all day, except for the hours Mike & Mike is on WFNI, when they sub in Erik Kuselius from NBC Sports Radio.

To recap the sports network wars in Indy:
ESPN Radio has 24-hour clearance on WFNI/WIBC-HD2
NBC Sports Radio now has 15 hour clearance in Indy (7pm to 10am), also via WFNI/WIBC-HD2
FOX Sports Radio has 17 hour clearance on WNDE+97.5
CBS Sports Radio has 23 hour clearance on WXNT (one hour in the early mornings is brokered colon cleanse)

Clearances obviously exclude local play-by-play.
