Stations

Reid Duffy established himself as a “unique” personality in Central Indiana TV for 30 years. He spent 24 years with WRTV-TV in Indianapolis, then three years with WNDY-TV. His “Duffy’s World” human-interest stories gained in popularity and earned him Associated Press awards for “Best Feature Story.” For 18 years, Duffy provided weekly restaurant reviews under the title of “Duffy’s Diner.” He has authored three books and continues contributing humorous material to various print publications.

Reid Duffy was inducted into the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2012.
