WFNI (1070 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Indianapolis, Indiana.[2] It is owned by Emmis Corporation and carries a sports radio format, featuring ESPN Radio programming. The studios and offices are located at 40 Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis.
WFNI's AM signal, 50,000 watts by day and 10,000 watts at night, went dark at midnight on August 3, 2021. Emmis Broadcasting sold the land on which the six-tower array stood, off Perry Worth Drive near Interstate 65 in Whitestown, Indiana. Emmis says it is looking for a new site for its AM transmitter but none has been found yet.[3] Programming continues to be heard on FM translators at 93.5 and 107.5 MHz in Indianapolis. They are fed by sister station 93.1 WIBC's HD Radio subchannel.
