The tower is located one mile east of Dunnington, Indiana, a small community in rural western Benton County.

WIBN signed on the air in 1983 at 98.3 on the FM dial originally built and owned by Frank and Sandra Hertel of Evansville, IN.

The station originally broadcast at 3,000 watts and served specifically the communities of Earl Park, Fowler and Kentland.

Once the move to 98.1 was complete, WIBN became an Adult contemporary station with programming provided by Satellite Music Network's Starstation format.

High school sports broadcasts run from mid-August with one football game per week, including post-season action.

Then from November thru March, high school basketball games feature Benton Central and other area teams.

In April 2010 WIBN's tower was knocked over by heavy farm equipment, which fell onto the building housing its transmitter, taking the station off the air.

Matt has fresh contests, plays some rare tracks and provides local sports score updates from 6 AM to 10 AM.
