I am excited to watch this new content area develop across all our platforms.”
“I am extremely lucky to be bringing entertainment stories to my hometown, and I’m equally excited to be the state’s first dedicated entertainment insider,” said Roth. “I’m eager to bring viewers interesting pop culture stories and interviews from the Hoosier perspective.”
