TV & VIDEO - Aug. 3, 1989

Pat Harvey, an anchorwoman at Chicago superstation WGN-TV and formerly at CNN, will be coming aboard KHJ-TV Channel 9 here to help anchor the station’s three-hour prime-time newscast, scheduled to premiere next year. Harvey will join local news personalities Jerry Dunphy and Larry Carroll, previously announced for the Disney-owned station’s expanded news staff. If, as expected, she is given a permanent anchor spot when she arrives at the station in October, she would become the only black weekday anchor in Los Angeles. KHJ-TV also reportedly is wooing former KABC-TV and KCBS anchor Terry Murphy and KABC-TV sportscaster Jim Hill. The future of the station’s current anchors--Lonnie Lardner, Tom Lawrence, Linda Edwards and sportscaster Scott St. James--is yet to be determined.
