WNDE (1260 AM) is a commercial radio station in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is owned by iHeartMedia with the broadcast license held by iHM Licenses, LLC.[2] WNDE broadcasts a sports radio format, with some afternoon talk programs, including The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.

WNDE is powered at 5,000 watts. By day, it uses a non-directional antenna. But at night, to protect other stations on 1260 AM from interference, it switches to a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is off Fall Creek Road in Indianapolis.[3] Programming is also heard on the HD Radio digital subchannel of co-owned WFBQ 94.7 FM.
