Bill Jartz
Bill Jartz is a broadcaster with an unparalleled work ethic, affable personality, booming laugh, and tireless commitment to public service.
Jartz’ career started as a 10 p.m. sports anchor on WSAW-TV in Wausau. He moved to WBAY-TV in Green Bay in 1983 to be a sports reporter on the station he watched growing up.
After a brief break from broadcasting, Jartz returned to WBAY-TV in 1993 as sports director, where he also performed play-by-play duties for Green Bay Packer preseason games.
In 1998 he moved to the news desk, taking a role as evening anchor. He was paired with anchor Cami Rapson who he still co-anchors the news with more than 25 years later.
Jartz is also the voice of Lambeau Field on Packer home game days, a role he started in the 2005 preseason.
Jartz supports countless local fundraisers and events for charitable organizations, serving as an emcee, auctioneer, guest speaker, or celebrity judge. In 2023, he participated in 53 such events and is estimated to have dedicated more than 5,000 hours of service to the community during his career. He’s got a reputation for not saying no to any charitable cause or opportunity where his time and energy can make a difference.
Many high school coaches that I know have ALWAYS liked Jartz. He always returned calls when he was contacted. That means a lot since other sports directors just didn’t have time to talk with high school coaches! Great guy!
