Because television was so popular in the 1970s, people saw TV personalities as notable celebrities. Melissa dressed up as a regular person in WAVE country to connect with her viewers and give them the impression that she was not a celebrity but a normal person like everyone else.

During her time at WAVE-TV, the channel began to fall apart when its viewership shifted to a new competitor station, WHAS-TV. Forsythe went on to sign a three-year contract with that station.

Melissa Forsythe, a television news anchor, and reporter for nearly two decades on Louisville stations died at 71. In a tweet, Proffitt, a WHAS11 anchor, confirmed her death at home.
