Talk:WIBW (AM)

Untitled
This is an article about WIBW, not about KSU. While possibly worth a mention, the dispute with KSU should not be the first section of article.... and current programming schedule doesn't belong in the lead.StreamingRadioGuide (talk) 16:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Questions About WIBW's Early History
Not trying to be nitpicky, but it is not accurate to say WIBW was founded in 1927. I changed it to 1925, and there are many newspaper articles from the Logansport (IN) Pharos-Tribune to verify that the station was in fact on the air as of July 1925. The station was ultimately sold to Senator Capper, and I really question the story that WIBW stood for "Indiana Broadcast Works"-- I have found NO evidence of this, except in a 1985 Associated Press story by Jim Bagby (which I quoted). I do not see that company name mentioned anywhere in the Logansport newspapers, nor in city directories of that time (1925-1926). Further, the station's call letters were assigned in sequential order-- there is nothing unusual about them. They were licensed after WIBT, WIBU, and WIBV. It was very common to assign slogans to stations, including slogans that fit the station's call letters. But that doesn't mean the call letters were specifically requested, and they do not seem to have been, contrary to what Mr Bagby (or perhaps Mr Capper?) asserted years later.DonnaHalper (talk) 06:09, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
