WIBA-FM (101.5 MHz) is a radio station in Madison, Wisconsin. The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications and broadcasts a classic rock music format. WIBA-FM began broadcasting Bob & Tom (weekday mornings) in the Spring of 1999, and was one of the first affiliates of the highly successful Alice Cooper show heard weeknights 7pm-12am. The station also serves as Madison's FM home of Green Bay Packers football and Wisconsin Badgers football and men's basketball, in a simulcast with its sister station, WIBA-AM.

WIBA-FM broadcasts an Alternative rock format on its HD Radio subchannel (101.5-HD2), billed as "Mad Radio"--the same format and branding that previously aired on two other Clear Channel Madison stations (at 92.1 FM and 96.3 FM). [http://www.wibafm.com/cc-common/hdradio/]
