First Female Weathercaster on KSD | St. Louis News

In 1967, Dianne White shattered glass ceilings as the first female weathercaster on St. Louis TV, bringing science, personality, and grit to KSD-TV’s “Noon Show” for three years. Starting as a production assistant and later training at the University of Missouri, she was the youngest and only woman on staff — initially doubting if she was being cast as a model. Despite early doubts and being exploited as a young woman, she turned her role into a triumph, earning respect for her meteorological skills.
