WNTR is a commercial radio station located in Indianapolis, Indiana, broadcasting on 107.9 FM. WNTR is My 107.9 Broadcasting an Adult Hits format.

WNTR signed on August 13, 1984, under the call letters of WTPI. The station had taken over the frequency of the original WIFE-FM (originally WISH-FM.) The original WIFE stations (1310 AM & 107.9 FM) were closed by the FCC when owner Don Burden lost his license. He operated the company as The Star Stations of Indiana. 13 WIFE was a Top 40 dynasty from October 31, 1963 through the early 1970's. The FM was an automated beautiful music station.

At its start, WTPI was called "the top of Indianapolis," relating to its location at the top the Indianapolis FM dial. The first PD was Mark Edwards and studios were over-looking the Monument Circle in downtown Indy. Longtime morning personality, Steve Cooper (a.k.a. Jim Carr) was with the station for its entire lifetime. Cooper also did stints at; WNDE-AM (1260)and WIFE-AM (1310). Overnights were handled by Mike O'Brien (a.k.a. Dave Heck now an engineer at Emmis Radio) for nearly 20 years. The radio station moved from the circle to the 3100 block of North Meridian Street and finally to 9245 North Meridian, where it remains to the present day under the WNTR call-letters. Long-time WTPI program director was Gary Havens.

On October 3, 2005, current owner, Entercom changed the WTPI calls and dropped the adult contemporary music format in favor of adult hits along with a change to its current call letters of WNTR which has nothing to do with what the radio industry calls "Non-Traditional Revenue." The station's on-air identifier was "107.9 The Track." Current programming features a somewhat "Jack-like" format proclaiming "We Play Everything." A popular live syndicated show featuring Tom Kent occupies the evening shift on WNTR. They broadcast American Top 40 The '80s with Casey Kasem on Saturday at 6:00 am and also on Sunday at 8:00 am.

On November 13, 2009 WNTR began stunting with Christmas music with a format flip coming after Christmas Day.

On December 28, 2009 at 12:28pm, WNTR relaunched as My 107.9, retaining the adult hits format.
