larice Tinsley of Strait Lane is a TV anomaly: She’s worked as an anchor for KDFW (CBS and FOX) for nearly 40 years. In a business that cycles through reporters, Tinsley has staying power. She won a Peabody in 1984 for “A Call for Help,” problems with the Dallas 911 emergency system. She’s covered the fall of the Berlin Wall, Operation Desert Storm and a fire in Dubai when she was there to celebrate her birthday. An on-the-air mainstay, Tinsley shares her life with husband, Stephen Giles.
