Hall Of Fame Bound

One of the most iconic local female News Anchor in history is being inducted into the Florida Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

The late WPLG (Miami) Anchor Ann Bishop is being inducted into the inaugural class.

Bishop was hired at WPLG in 1970 and became the first female journalist to anchor the evening news in a major market.

“Ann Bishop shattered the glass ceiling when she took a seat at what was until then an all-male anchor desk, and became the first woman to anchor the evening news in a major market,” said WPLG GM Bert Medina.

FTVLive had the chance to talk to Bishop many times over the years, and I could guess that looking at today’s TV news and dancing anchors, she would shake her head.

This industry misses Ann Bishop.
