I know complaining of Indianapolis radio goes back 40 years. It probably started when old WNAP did its last raft race. Starting back then I always made sure my cars had a tape player until the tape player became a CD player. In the late 90s there was a low power station out of Brownsburg that was always surprised with its variety. WTTS leaned heavily toward the college radio format and that gave some relief to the commercial AOR sounds of WFBQ. No Indiana station had anything on Chicago's WXRT. Coming back from then years in prison, I found out WFBQ was now an iHeart station. Coming from where I could heard WXPN and WPRB and Indianapolis radio sounds like nothing more than a backdrop for advertising.
This list has all the sounds I heard in New Jersey that I have yet to hear in Indianapolis:
- Courtney Barnett
- Florence + the Machine
- Gary Clark, Jr.
