Here’s the first part of Indianapolis IDs from a trip I recently took.

Here’s the first part of a St. Louis aircheck session done by contributor Steve Worth.  Thank you!

I did a quick day trip to South Bend and grabbed these new IDs.  Didn’t have enough time for a full band-scan.  Perhaps next time.

Last November, I briefly visited Toledo, Ohio (home of Tony Packo’s, the Toledo Mud Hens, etc.)  Here’s a few IDs from that trip (several are new stations to Toppy!)  I’ll have more IDs soon, along with IDs from several of our wonderful contributors.  Thank you!

‘The Wrath of the Buzzard’ was a reference to the former WNAP in Indianapolis (one of the many nicknames for Indianapolis?  Naptown.)  Voiced by Chuck Riley, the ID was heard during the 20ish year run of “The Buzzard”.  WNAP was also one of the radio stations featured in the documentary Naptown Rock Radio Wars.  (Riley also voiced this legendary ID.)

While we don’t yet have an ID from 93.1 as the Buzzard, we have a new ID from an NCE station that pays homage to that format, and yes, that’s Chuck Riley at the top of each hour.  You can hear that (WNPP) along with four other new Indianapolis IDs that I recorded late last year.

Here’s some audio from contributors John Lalande and Blaine Stewart.  John adds a Madison, Wisconsin ID from 2015, while Blaine sends some 1993 IDs from the City of Angels.  Over the weekend, I’ll add some of the new IDs I’ve recorded from other markets.
