iHeartMedia Indianapolis flips Country WUBG-FM to Urban as "Real 98.3," with the slogan "The new home of Hip Hop and R&B for Indianapolis." The station will kick off with "10,000 joints in a row" commercial-free, featuring hits from Hip Hop and R&B artists like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Usher, Jay-Z and Beyonce. In addition, Real 98.3 will be anchored by syndicated "The Breakfast Club" in mornings beginning November 3 and features DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God.

"We are Nap's new home for Hip Hop and R&B," said iHeartMedia Indianapolis Senior VP/Programming Mike Killabrew. "There's no better way to establish that than by kicking things off with 10,000 songs in a row."

"This is an exciting and powerful addition to the iHeartMedia Indianapolis portfolio," added iHeartMedia's Kentucky-Indiana Region and Senior VP/Urban Operations President Earl Jones. "Hip Hop is thriving and I can't wait to get things rolling."
