The WHOO news department underwent two major changes in 1984. Previously, the 5–6 p.m. slot was occupied by syndicated programming, was replaced by a new program was named ''Five PM Indiana''. The broadcast was originally hosted by Patrice Rafferty, and added many elements, such as interviews, movie reviews, health reports, and some cooking segments. Added to the mix were news updates from Ted Shields.

After ATE Media acquired WHOO, Patrice Rafferty 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, 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 and Hugh Allen. 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]].

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 when she left and acquired WHOO as a station owner, 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 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. Karly Ryder became the first woman to co-anchor the station's main weeknight evening newscasts (and continues to do so to this day).
