| − | Her career in television began in Terre Haute, Indiana as weekend anchor in 1974, at then-CBS affiliate WTHL (now a Me TV O&O). She was later hired as main anchor of WTHL's evening newscasts from 1976 until 1984. Ryder left WTHL in May 1984 after accepting a job offer from [[Patrice Rafferty]] to anchor at then-CBS affiliate WHOO (later an NBC and ABC affiliate, now an ABC O&O) in her hometown of Indianapolis.

| − | ===WHOO===
| |
| − | Patrice Rafferty recalls in a 1996 interview she personally decided to make major changes at WHOO's news department. Rafferty felt the news team did not have enough female anchors. Rafferty realized that, since there was only a weekday half-hour morning news broadcasts were anchored by Ellen Evans (currently co-anchors with Ryder at , the noon broadcast was anchored by meteorologist Bryan Moore, and the 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. nightly newscasts were anchored by Ted Shields and Mike Aikins on weeknights and the weekends anchored by Rick Cortos (now at WIFX) and Hugh Allen (retired in 1989). Rafftery decided upon becoming the owner of WHOO, she decided to pair Shields with an up-and-coming anchor from WTHL Terre Haute named Karly Ryder.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Rafferty recalls the market have had female anchors teamed already, but in the then male-dominated world of Indianapolis television news, this was a first at WHOO while WMRI already had a male-female anchor team. Rafferty recelled, "In some sort of symbolic synchronicity, I remember when I paired Karly and [[Ted Shields|Ted]] in Indy and [[Marshall Davidson|Marshall]] and Patricia (Edwards) in Fort Wayne, I knew I'd be sending someone to the noon news and a commentary gig, the ultimate case of new gender diversity dislodging the old boys' network." Rafferty then moved Mike Aikins from the weeknight newscasts to the noon newscast with Ellen Evans to make room for the Shileds-Ryder anchor team effective beginning July 2, 1984.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Rafferty wanted both Shields and Ryder to get to know each other. So Rafferty personally handed Shields a phone number for the then 33-year-old Ryder, who had happened to be invited to Rafferty's upcoming wedding, with a suggestion to telephone her.
| + | ===Television=== |
| | | | |
| − | According to Shields, "I remember the first phone call from Karly back on the 4th of July in 1983, we stayed on the phone for nearly six hours, just chat-chat-chatting. We bonded right there the day [[Glenn Swaringen|Glenn]] and Patrice got married. There was just something since that wedding there that let me know: Karly is a great person."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Karly Ryder became the first woman to co-anchor the station's main weeknight evening newscasts and has held the title ever since. Ryder and Shields have anchored together at WHOO for 30 years{{ndash}}longer than any other anchor team in Indianapolis television history.

| |
| − | In 2016, Ryder became the unofficial "dean" of Indianapolis-area television news anchorwomen when longtime WHOO morning and noon anchorwoman Ellen Evans retired after 40 years. In 2021, Ryder surpassed Evans as the station's longest-serving news anchorwoman in Indianapolis television history. Ryder's uninterrupted run behind the anchor desk (except for being on maternity leave on two occasions) surpassed WEVI's Debbie Simpson, who started with her station in 1979 until her retirement in 2014. For most of her tenure with WHOO, Ryder occasionally appeared on ATE Media's sister stations and currently anchors the statewide newscast ''Indiana News Tonight'' under ATE Media and ABC ownership with [[WMRI-FTV|WMRI]] anchorman [[Pete Ward]].
