INDIANAPOLIS — June 15, 2026 — DuJuan McCoy, Owner, President, and CEO of Circle City Broadcasting(parent company of WISH-TV, WRTV-ABC, MyINDY-TV 23) and Circulus Digital Media, today announced the launch of Indiana’s I-Team, a new investigative journalism unit serving viewers locally, statewide, and nationally.
Led by award-winning investigative journalists Kara Kenney and Tim Spears, Indiana’s I-Team will combine the strengths of WRTV Investigates and WISH-TV’s I-Team 8 under a single brand. Content from Indiana’s I-Team will be featured across all Circle City Broadcasting platforms, expanding its reach and enhancing its ability to serve consumers and communities.
“This is just the first step for CCB in building the largest and most effective investigative unit in the state of Indiana,” said McCoy. “Our focus is on delivering in-depth investigative reporting while assisting consumers and communities in resolving issues they have been unable to address on their own. Our goal is for Indiana’s I-Team to serve as the ‘Fourth Estate’ for all Hoosiers. Over the next several years, we plan to expand Indiana’s I-Team into the most impactful investigative unit in the state.”
