Brad Holtz got his first library card at the Westfield Public Library when he was 8 years old. He’s been hooked on libraries since. “I always found the information, the ideas, the stories you could access at the library fascinating,” said Holtz, who’s known for his decades as an on-air personality playing “world-class rock” on WTTS-FM 92.3. (He’s also been program director, vice president/general manager and, since January 2024, president of ST Radio, a division of Sarkes Tarzian Inc. that includes WTTS and five other stations.) For the past 20 years, Holtz has been supporting the Indianapolis Public Library — first as part of his job at WTTS and for the past nine years as a member of the Indianapolis Public Library Foundation Board, whose job it is to secure private funding to support Indianapolis Public Library programs, services and facilities. This is high-stakes work, since donor contributions fund about 80% of the library’s annual programs, including the Summer Reading Program, job search services, author lectures and early childhood literacy initiatives. In IBJ's latest Nonprofit Excellence Awards program, Holtz has been named a board member of the year for central Indiana. Marc D. Allan has more on how Holtz and WTTS make fundraising hum.

Proud of the Local 3 News team after the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters awards. A year ago, we left empty-handed. I was new to the role, but I could see how much that disappointment meant to the team. That night, I said the next year would be different, and this team made sure it was. They returned with focus, drive, and a commitment to getting better every day. The results speak for themselves: TAB Television Station of the Year, along with honors for Best Locally Produced Digital Product, Best Sports Coverage, and Best Morning Newscast. I’m especially grateful for the managers and colleagues who lead with purpose, tackle the hard conversations, make the difficult decisions, and keep raising the bar for all of us. Their leadership, combined with the commitment of our entire staff, is what makes accomplishments like this possible. I’m proud of what we achieved, and even more excited about what comes next.
