WFNI (1070 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Indianapolis, Indiana.[2] It is owned by Emmis Communications and carries a sports 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]
