Indiana Secretary‑of‑State Candidate Beau Bayh Declines WIBC Interview Requests

Radio host Tony Katz of WIBC 93.1 FM says his attempts to secure an interview with Indiana Democratic Secretary‑of‑State candidate Beau Bayh have been met with silence. Katz, who has hosted independent Lincoln Party candidate Greg Ballard, Libertarian Lauri Shillings and Republican Max Engling, reports no response from Bayh’s campaign via the website contact form or the candidate’s X account.

Katz noted that Bayh appears comfortable appearing on national television, but has not returned the invitation to speak to Indianapolis listeners. “Bobie has the capacity to go on national television,” Katz said, adding that the lack of a reply suggests either a poorly monitored campaign website or a belief that the Central Indiana audience is already secured.

Producer Karl confirmed multiple outreach attempts, including direct messages on X, received no acknowledgment. Katz suggested the campaign could simply decline the request, which would at least provide voters with an answer.

The host compared Bayh’s silence to Mayor Joe Hogsett’s well‑known avoidance of certain media outlets, warning that such a strategy could backfire. By contrast, Katz praised Ballard’s campaign staff for promptly responding even when declining an interview.

For now, the invitation remains open and the campaign’s silence continues. Listeners can follow Katz’s commentary on weekdays or listen to the full segment on‑demand.
