The mix of Sports Talk surrounded by the Rush Limbaugh Show will no longer be heard on FM in Indianapolis as iHeartMedia has dropped the simulcast of “Fox Sports 1260” WNDE on 97.5 W248AW Indianapolis.

97.5 currently is running a redirect loop pointing the WNDE audience to the 1260 frequency. iHeartMedia Indianapolis SVP/Programming told the Indianapolis Star,

I heart has announced that 97.5 FM will get a new format soon.

I guess the 1.0 share (6+) in the latest ratings for WNDE+W248AW is the reason why.

But I have no idea what they might put on there instead. "The Breeze" might be a decent opportunity in Indy.

Rush is therefore, off the FM dial

94.7 is running 1260 on 94.7.2

Though these FM translators had to be carrying a "real" station.
Where is KISS FM on the Indy Dial beside a translator?
