He previously worked at WYMT-TV Channel 57 in Hazard, Ky., and at WTWO-TV Channel 2 in Terre Haute.
Johnson also has been a sideline reporter for the IHSAA Champions Network.
He told viewers the highlights of his time at Fox 59 were covering high school sports and Butler University basketball.
Besides Pacers coverage, Fox Sports Indiana carries Indiana Fever and Cincinnati Reds games.
