Glenn Webber spent 20 years at WRTV-TV in Indianapolis as an announcer and newscaster. It was, however, his partnership with Joe Pickett on WFBM-FM in the early 1960s that cemented his legacy. Known as the “Pickett-Webber Thing,” their morning drive time radio show was arguably the first great personality duo of Indianapolis radio. They enjoyed high ratings for nearly two decades. After leaving WFBM-FM, Webber was the public face and announcer for the Indiana State Police, before becoming part of the original staff of WENS-FM, launched in 1981. He died in 2011 at age 90.
