‘WISHstory’ | When Colts won the Super Bowl

2-28-25 WISHstory 6:30 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The year 1998 was a big one for Indianapolis: Peyton Manning joined the Indianapolis Colts, and, here at WISH-TV, Anthony Calhoun arrived on the scene.

You’d almost think we timed that on purpose.

In 2007, they both got to go to the Super Bowl, although in vastly different roles, of course.

For this week’s WISH-Story, we balance a Miami win with an Indianapolis winter via the I-65 showdown with the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl 41.
