Talor Bassett

Circle City Broadcasting (owner of WISH and WNDY Indianapolis) has promoted Talor Bassett to the company’s first senior executive producer, effective today.

In this new role, the company says, “Bassett will implement an intentional approach to providing an ‘infotainment’ style of storytelling” across all WISH newscasts. “This includes a special emphasis on featuring underreported and underserved factions of our community, like individuals with disabilities, veterans, farmers and the agriculture industry to name a few.”

Bassett is the executive producer of WISH’s All Indiana at 4 p.m., a news show that is less hard news and more of an entertainment and feature-driven broadcast. It welcomes local and national guests, includes the recurring “Tasty Takeout” segment, and features Talor’s own signature preview called “Tomorrow with Talor.”

“Our research shows that viewers are seeking more news that ‘informs’ and ‘entertains’ without losing its journalistic integrity,” said DuJuan McCoy, Circle City owner, president and CEO. “Talor’s passion for this type of news is evidenced in her successful track record as a producer and executive producer. I look forward to Talor’s impact on our broadcast and our consumers’ viewing experience on WISH-TV.”

Bassett graduated from Washington State University with a degree in communication with an emphasis in broadcast media. She now has more than 12 years of media experience as a writer, producer, on-air talent and executive producer.
