Howard Kellman

Howard Kellman majored in radio and television at Brooklyn College, graduating in 1975. During those undergraduate years, Kellman was the radio and television voice of St. John’s basketball from 1973-75. Kellman celebrated his 40th year as the play-by-play announcer of the Indianapolis Indians in 2015. When not in the booth with the Indians, he also did 25 years of play-by-play at WHMB-TV, covering the high school football and basketball games of the week. While juggling the Indians and high school on-air jobs, Kellman was Sports Director at WNDE-AM in 1981 and hosted radio shows on WXLW-AM and WNDE-AM called “Great Baseball Memories.” These programs were a series of vignettes Kellman put together with his baseball background. He also hosted a TV show “Inside the Indians.” There were times when he filled in and did play-by-play for the Chicago White Sox, New York Mets and Cleveland Cavaliers. He was also a sideline reporter for Yale Football in 2012 on the YES television network.

Kellman was inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2015.
