In 1961 a high transmission mast was erected near the WBST studios. In 1966, David Letterman became part of a 9-man news team that covered the primaries. In December 1978 WBST received a new 3 KW transmitter. In 1980, after more than 20 years of broadcasting, WBST became a member of National Public Radio. The station received more support from Ball State University and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

In 1997 the station expanded into a whole network of broadcasters and has been called Indiana Public Radio since 1998 .
