Life After News in the Twin Cities

Former KARE Anchor Diana Pierce anchored the news for 3 decades.

Now, she is still anchoring, but no longer on TV.

Pierce now hosts a Facebook live stream called "What's Next with Diana Pierce."

"It was one of those things where it's like here's a market for the 50-plus crowd. They have expendable income. They are not necessarily being served by the other stations that are looking for the 25 to 40 crowd," Pierce says of her online show.

Every Thursday night, on Facebook, she goes live.

Although the show is geared to the 50-plus crowd, anyone at any age will be able to get something useful out of it.

The focus is reinventing yourself at work, in retirement, in health, in finance.

The whole show is written, produced, shot, edited and broadcast by Pierce and her partner.

When asked how she likes being on the other side of the business, Pierce says, "It's exciting. It's really exciting. It's tech that brings its challenges, so that every time we do a Facebook Live we discover that sometimes Facebook doesn't play nice with us. But that's okay. It's all part of the new horizon."

Pierce says she doesn't miss her anchor desk, because she feels she's still doing the same type of work.

"The great thing about anchoring is you have all kinds of stories that come to you," she says. "The majority of them are always sad and always kind of destructive. What I'm doing now, I see it as more informational."
