On December 26, 2007, WIBC's call letters and talk programming moved to the FM dial at co-owned 93.1 MHz.

According to the documentary film Naptown Rock Radio Wars,[5] station and program managers from across the United States came to Indianapolis to listen to WNAP in order to figure out the unique style of "The Buzzard" so they could emulate its success at their own stations such as WVBF in Boston and WMMS in Cleveland.

The classic top of the hour station identification from this era featured the sound of two thunderbolts and the distinctive voice of WIBC's Chuck Riley, brother of WNAP's DJ Michael D. "Buster Bodine" Hanks, intoning the phrase, "The wrath of The Buzzard!

"[10][11] The station failed with this programming direction and soon refocused around more standard classic rock, along with carriage of The Howard Stern Show in the mornings.

[12][13] Unlike most markets though, WFBQ's local and dominant Bob and Tom Show easily won in the ratings, and like most stations outside Stern's Northeast base, had wholly incompatible audience flow for the rest of the broadcast day.

After weeks of stunting, WNAP changed to contemporary hits on March 28, 2000, at 6:00 a.m., with new call letters WNOU and the name "Radio Now.

The station received some national notice in November 2004, when its morning show conducted the first interview with Indiana Pacers player Ron Artest following the Pacers–Pistons brawl.

[17][18] In 2006, WNOU launched an HD2 subchannel, dubbed "Orbital 93.1", which offered a rhythmic contemporary format with emphasis on current and classic dance music.

The Christmas format was a place holder as part of the transition to moving the talk programming of WIBC from 1070 AM to 93.1 FM.
