Stations

In the late 1940s, Paul Lennon convinced an advertising agency it should find a client to sponsor Indiana University basketball on WTTV-TV in Bloomington, Indiana. With Lennon on mic, history was made in December 1951 when the first U.S. college basketball game was televised. Six years later, Lennon started his own ad agency specializing in broadcast commercials. Lennon’s career also included air work at WTOM-AM and WTTS-FM in Bloomington. He went into TV in 1949 when WTTV-TV signed on the air. He also served as a president of the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers. Lennon died June 27, 2009.

Lennon was inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2007.
