Terry Flettrich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Terry Flettrich (sometimes known as Terry Flettrich Rohe) is a writer, broadcaster and photographer whose career has spanned six decades.

She was an on-air personality at WDSU-TV in New Orleans from the late-1940's through the mid-1970's. Later in her career, she did work for WPIX-TV in New York and was a contributing correspondent for Good Morning America from 1989-1997.

Terry started her broadcasting career at WDSU radio in the late 40's, hosting numerous radio shows, including the "Ladies at Lunch" program, broadcast live from the D.H. Holmes Department Store, her employer at that time. Terry began her association with WDSU-TV prior to the station even signing on-air for the first time in December, 1948. As the station's personnel were learning to produce and broadcast live shows with "practice shows", Terry was writer, producer and host of many of those.

Terry was host of a children's show, Mrs. Muffin^[1] which began production in 1950 and was also one of the hosts, from 1950-1975, of the ground-breaking program, Mid-day, a magazine format show, one of the first in the United States.

Terry Flettrich (Rohe) was inducted into the Greater New Orleans Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 1993.

She is currently living in Maine, returning to New Orleans as often as possible.
