WIBC is a strong number two in the Indianapolis market. If Urban One wants to blow up a very successful station, go ahead. I’m guessing they will keep the current format, or sell the station to another group. IHeart owns five stations in the market. They could swap their hip hop station for WIBC and pay a little cash, since WIBC is worth far more than WZRL, the rap station they’d be selling.
Regardless - WIBC’s independence is in strong doubt.
