She began her professional career in journalism at the Columbus, Georgia local television station WTVM, before moving to work with another local television station – WBIR – this time located in Knoxville, Tennessee.

She stayed there until 1990, when she was hired by NBC News as a general assignment reporter. Her responsibilities further increased when she became a correspondent for the NBC News program entitled “Dateline NBC”.

ABC News and Other Work

In 1995, Roberts moved to ABC News, becoming a correspondent for their program entitled “20/20”, one of the longest-running shows of the network, having been created by executive Roone Arledge. The show features story packages, though more concentrated on human interest stories rather than political topics. She also became a substitute anchor for “World News Tonight Weekend”, and her involvement in other shows included “Good Morning America”, which is the morning news program of the network. In 2006, she became a guest host on the ABC Daytime talk show entitled “The View”.
