93 WIBC has announced it has inked a new content partnership with FOX59 in Indianapolis, which includes new programming for the radio station.
FOX59 will replace WISH-TV as the content partner for 93 WIBC. As part of the new deal, FOX59 and 93 WIBC will share content with one another and provide cross-platform promotion.
FOX59 will provide regular weather updates throughout the radio station’s programming. It will also share live news updates in afternoon drive on select days.
Furthermore, FOX59’s weekday morning news will air in the 5 AM hour on the Indianapolis news/talk station. That hour had previously been occupied by the Daybreak show from WISH-TV.
“This builds on an existing relationship,” said VP/GM for Urban One/Radio One Indianapolis Andrea Kahrer. “As FOX affiliates and frequent partners in the community, combining FOX59’s news and weather with WIBC’s coverage allows us to better serve Central Indiana audiences.”
“This partnership is about meeting people where they are,” said FOX59 VP/GM Dominic Mancuso. “Central Indiana audiences move between television, radio, streaming, digital and social throughout the day. By working with WIBC, we can extend the reach of our local journalism and make sure people have access to trusted news and weather when it matters.”
