Summary: Rob Kendall a voice on Indianapolis talk radio is stepping away from the microphone. After nine years on 93.1 WIBC, he pointed unanswered questions toward station owner Urban One, and hinted that “amazing things” are already in the works.
Brownsburg – A familiar voice on Indianapolis airwaves is signing off. A longtime host at 93.1 WIBC announced that their final day with the station has arrived, ending a nine-year run that helped build what they described as a “radio family”.
In a public message to listeners, the host expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve as their voice and advocate. “Being your voice, using my platform to speak up for you, to take on the powerful, the connected, the politicians, has been the greatest honor of my professional life,” the statement read.
The departure appears to follow several weeks of listener support and reaction. The host said they were “moved by the outcry” from those who pushed for the show to continue, suggesting the decision may have surprised members of the audience. However, no specific reason for the exit was disclosed.
Those seeking answers were directed to Urban One, the station’s parent company. As of now, no public explanation has accompanied the announcement.
During their tenure, the host credited loyal listeners for strong ratings and for backing advertisers connected to the program — a relationship they said created an “unbreakable bond.” Despite the farewell, the message struck a forward-looking tone.
“We have some amazing things coming soon,” the host wrote, adding that the connection with listeners is “so much bigger than any singular platform or frequency.”
While details about the next chapter remain under wraps, the hint of future opportunities signals this may not be the last time Central Indiana hears from the veteran broadcaster.
For WIBC, the departure marks a notable programming change. For listeners, it closes a significant era — but may also signal the beginning of a new one.
