WBRI (1500 AM) is a daytimer radio station licensed to Indianapolis, Indiana, serving the Indianapolis metropolitan area. It broadcasts a Christian talk and teaching radio format and is owned by the Wilkins Radio Network, Inc. The broadcast license is held by Heritage Christian Radio, Inc.[2] WBRI is one of the oldest Christian talk stations in the United States, starting the format in 1964.[3]
By day, WBRI is powered at 5,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is on Adams Boulevard Drive near East 62nd Street.[4] But because 1500 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KSTP in St. Paul, Minnesota and WFED in Washington, D.C., WBRI must sign off at sunset to prevent interference. Programming is heard around the clock on 250 watt FM translator W244DN at 96.7 MHz.
History
[edit]On March 12, 1964, the station signed on the air. The original call sign was WNDY.[1] In 1964, the station changed its call letters to WBRI and its format to Christian radio.
In 2003, WBRI was sold to Heritage Christian Radio, Inc., a subsidiary of Wilkins Radio Network, Inc. The price tag was $1.5 million.[5] Wilkins continued the Christian programming, using shows from its own network.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
