I canât remember a time when Doris Biscoe wasnât on the air.
Biscoe had stints in radio in Maryland and led a public affairs show in D.C. before relocating to the Motor City. She began her career at 7 Action News in 1973 as a night reporter, eventually moving from reporting to anchoring the evening news at 6 p.m.
Besides her work in journalism, Biscoe hosted âLearn to Read,â a weekly literacy program at the station that was aimed at children. She had a brush with movies when she played a newscaster in 1987âs âThe Rosary Murdersâ starring Donald Sutherland, which was filmed in the Motor City.
