The station is owned by Metropolitan Indianapolis Public Broadcasting, and is a sister station to NPR member radio station WFYI-FM (90.1). WFYI maintains studio facilities located between Pierson and Illinois Streets (using a North Meridian Street address) in northwestern Indianapolis, within the city's Television Row section, and its transmitter is located on West 79th Street and Township Line Road on the city's northwest side (near Meridian Hills).

Local community leader Ardath Y. Burkhart formed a small grassroots campaign to launch an noncommercial educational television station to serve Indianapolis. Burkhart (whose group became known as "Ardath's Army") quickly gained support in the community by stating his case to residents in Indianapolis and surrounding counties. The volunteers raised enough funds over the course of a few weeks to cover a year's worth of operating expenses.
