EMCEE: Patty Spitler

Patty Spitler, host, reporter and producer for “Pet Pals TV” and “Great Day TV,” has had a 42-year career in radio and TV broadcasting. She was one of the first female radio disc jockeys in the country in the 1970s, starting in her hometown of Dayton, Ohio. From 1982 through 2004, Patty was a news anchor and entertainment reporter for WISH-TV in Indianapolis, has been nominated for 17 Emmy Awards and is the winner of one. She retired in 2004 due to Meniere’s Disease, an inner ear condition that causes hearing loss and balance issues.

In 2009, she joined “Pet Pals TV,” a syndicated magazine show that focuses on the relationship between animals and humans. In 2015, Patty became the host and executive producer of “Boomer TV,” which has expanded to “Great Day TV” and presents stories about interesting people in all walks of life. 

Patty brings her passion for pets to many Central Indiana animal welfare and fundraiser events such as IndyHumane’s Mutt Strut and the Morris Animal Foundation. She also uses her knowledge of social media to spread awareness on responsible pet ownership. Patty shares her life with a Bernese Mountain Dog named Stewie, a mutt named Mabel, an indoor kitty and several stray cats who show up on her porch to be fed.

She speaks about her life with humor and a positive outlook, with emphasis on staying relevant in a changing world.
