After heading news operations in Minnesota, Nebraska and Oklahoma, Bob Gamble came to Indianapolis in 1959 to serve as News Director for Channel 6, WFBM-FM/TV (now WRTV-TV). The station won many RTNDA (Radio-TV News Directors Association) awards for its editorials, which Gamble aired. He later became president of RTNDA. He has been credited with creating innovative techniques and a strong staff to raise the level of local TV news in the Indianapolis market. Gamble retired from WRTV-TV and broadcasting in 1986. He died March 7, 2015, at age 89.
