In May 2011, Baderinwa became co-anchor of the 11 p.m. newscast with Bill Ritter, replacing Liz Cho, who vacated the slot to anchor the new 4 p.m newscast, which debuted after the end of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

On October 27, 2006, Baderinwa appeared on The View as a guest co-host.

On July 23, 2004, while preparing a report on location in Hackensack, New Jersey about local flooding, she was struck by a hit and run driver who went through police lines. After multiple surgeries and months of recovery and physical therapy, Baderinwa returned to Eyewitness News on December 13, 2004, but continued receiving physical therapy five times a week following her return. The driver in the collision was never caught.

In 2003, Baderinwa joined WABC-TV as a reporter and anchor for the noon newscast of Eyewitness News before being promoted to anchor the 5 p.m. newscast with now-former co-anchor Diana Williams, who retired in 2019.

Baderinwa joined WBAL-TV, the NBC affiliate in Baltimore, in February 2000. There, she anchored the morning and noon newscasts and also hosted a weekly community affairs show.
