A familiar voice behind one of Indiana’s most respected news operations is signing off.
John Herrick is leaving 93 WIBC, bringing to a close an accomplished tenure that lasted nearly nine years at the Indianapolis News/Talk station.
Since joining WIBC in 2017, Herrick became a central figure in the station’s newsroom, covering everything from breaking news and politics to major community events. His leadership responsibilities grew in 2023 when he was elevated to News Director, placing him in charge of the station’s editorial operations and daily news coverage.
Under Herrick’s direction, WIBC continued to strengthen its reputation as one of the Midwest’s premier News/Talk brands, delivering local reporting while covering the issues that matter most to listeners across Central Indiana.
His departure leaves an important leadership position open at one of the state’s highest-profile radio stations. While WIBC has not yet identified who will succeed Herrick, the search for its next newsroom leader will likely draw significant attention throughout the broadcasting community.
In today’s media environment, experienced local news leaders have become increasingly valuable assets. Herrick’s exit not only marks the end of an important chapter for WIBC but also creates an intriguing opportunity—both for the station as it looks toward its future and for a respected journalist whose next move will undoubtedly be watched across the industry.
