Anne Doyle (sports broadcaster)
- Anne Doyle (sports broadcaster)
Anne Doyle (born June 22, 1948 in South Bend, Indiana) is an American woman leader who was one of the first women TV sports broadcaster in the United States. As a sports reporter and anchor for WJBK, CBS-TV in Detroit, from 1978-1983, she played a leadership role in achieving equal access to sports locker rooms for women journalists.
The "Detroit Free Press" reported in May 2006 about Doyle, "In places that reeked of testosterone, Anne Doyle spent years breaking barriers for women and letting in fresh air. From the locker room to the boardroom, she was a woman working and winning in a man's world." For her pioneering work in the 1970's and early 80's, Doyle was named to the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame (2207) and listed in the "Who's Who of American Women in the South" (1987).
