Popular Indianapolis radio host Rob Kendall has departed WIBC-FM 93.1 after a prolonged contract dispute with the station.
The conservative on-air personality, known for co-hosting the "Kendall & Casey" show, announced his departure on February 3, 2026, ending weeks of absence from the airwaves. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kendall expressed gratitude to listeners, calling it an honor to "fight for you" and noting that their bond remains strong despite the change, with "cool things coming soon."
He continued receiving pay during this period but was not suspended. His attorney, Jay Kanzler, stated that the issue was not salary-related, and Kendall hoped to stay but was open to other opportunities if talks stalled.
The absence drew significant attention and listener support, with some fans speculating about external influences like Kendall's critical coverage of local issues, including the Mid-States Corridor project. Kendall's departure marks the end of his tenure on the midday news/talk program, which featured his sharp commentary on Indiana politics and government accountability.
WIBC has not issued a public comment on the matter.
