  1. The Emmis radio stations broadcasting from Monument circle
    were good for Indianapolis. It was one of the really cool interesting
    aspects of walking around Monument Circle, or downtown period.
    Especially with the lights and
    with the broadcast coming live and actually being able to see the actual
    broadcast from the sidewalks. It gave it a lively big city feel.

    Urban One is ruining all of that.

  2. ***The City agencies should do everything possible to work out a deal with
    Urban One to keep the radio stations operating on Monument Circle.******

    If Urban One pulls these radio stations off, it will create an audio and visual
    void along with just another empty store front.
    The Circle will lose a lot of its appeal that these radio stations broadcasting live
    have brought for so long.

    The city needs to act now.
