Indiana RadioWatch: June 25, 2018
One of our readers e-mailed me with a question about WNTS (1590am, Beech Grove) when it aired a religious format. If you worked there during that time, or know someone who did, please drop me an e-mail.

Townsquare Media and Henson Media agree to a deal which means Townsquare will dismiss their 107.9fm, Evansville translator application with the FCC. Townsquare's 107.9fm translator would have been a simulcast of their N-T/WGBF (1280am, Evansville). Henson Media also applied for a 250 watt 107.9fm translator licensed to Henderson, Kentucky as a simulcast of Henson's Classic Hits/WSON (860am, Henderson, Kentucky). Since September 2011, WSON has also been on FM through their translator W243CU (96.5fm, Henderson, Kentucky).
That's all for this issue. Thank you for your continued support.
