"that went through it like a bowling alley", according to Dick Bishop, a student announcer from 1959 to 1961 who later served as the development director for WFIU and WTIU, the IUB television station started in 1968. It functioned as a "laboratory station"; students produced and announced many of the programs, which were of a "local nature". One notable early WFIU product was sportscaster Dick Enberg. The Radio-Television Building on the IUB campus was completed in 1963, and the station began to take its modern direction with the launch of NPR in 1971; it was one of the initial 90 stations to carry All Things Considered. From 1960 until 1972, WFIU transmitted with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 75,000 watts from the center of the IU campus. At that time, it moved to the taller tower used by WTIU on the south side of Bloomington. The move increased WFIU's range, even though the power was reduced to 29,000 watts. The combined WFIU-WTIU news team has won numerous journalism awards including Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Awards for its local television, radio and web reporting in Indiana. In 2008, WFIU began HD Radio broadcasts and started a secondary service, "WFIU 2", which provides alternate public radio programs to complement WFIU's output.
