Ben Barr
Sports Director
Bangor, ME
I'm very excited to join the TV5 team as Sports Director!
I'm coming from KMOT in Minot, North Dakota where I held the same position. After six years in the Peace Garden State, I decided to make the move to Maine to be closer to my hometown of Lancaster County, Pa. Besides being back on the East Coast, I'm looking forward to cover the Maine Black Bears, Husson Eagles, and more high school and college that our region has to offer. I take a ton of pride in covering as much as I can around our viewing area, from highlights and scores to feature stories that take you beyond the box score.
I'm ready to hit the ground running at WABI, so if you have a story idea, shoot me an email at bbarr@wabi.tv.
See you on the sidelines!
