Since 2003, she has been a news anchoratWABC-TV, the ABC flagship stationinNew York, and currently co-anchors the weekday 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts of Eyewitness News with Bill Ritter.

Early life and education[edit]

Baderinwa was born to a Nigerian father and a German mother.[1] At age seven, her mother no longer took part in her life and her father returned to Africa, leaving her in the custody of a family friend.[1] She was subsequently adopted in BaltimorebyWBAL-TV anchor Edie House, whose parents also provided additional support.[1][2] When Baderinwa was 12, her birth mother eventually took her in to live with her family in nearby Montgomery County.[1] She has since continued to maintain contact with her biological parents, as well as with her adoptive family.[1]

Baderinwa graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources with a degree in agricultural business and resource economics.[2]

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Baderinwa began her career as a production assistant for ABC News' various programs, including This Week With David Brinkley, Nightline, World News Tonight, and News One.[3] She went on to become a reporter trainee at WUSA-TV, the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., before becoming a reporter at WSLS-TV, the NBC affiliate in Roanoke, Virginia.[3]

Baderinwa joined WBAL-TV, the NBC affiliate in Baltimore, in February 2000.[2] There, she anchored the morning and noon newscasts and also hosted a weekly community affairs show.[3]

2003–present: WABC-TV[edit]

In 2003, Baderinwa joined WABC-TV as a reporter and anchor for the station's noon newscast[3] before joining Diana Williams as co-anchor of the 5 p.m. newscast.[4]

On the evening of July 23, 2004, while preparing a report on location outside of 257 Hudson Street in Hackensack, New Jersey about local flooding, she was struck by a hit and run driver who went through police lines, and was rendered unconscious following the collision.[5][6] After undergoing multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy,[7][8] Baderinwa returned on-air on December 13, 2004,[citation needed] but continued receiving physical therapy five times a week following her return.[9] The driver in the collision was never caught.[7]

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

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 station's new 4 p.m newscast, which debuted after the end of The Oprah Winfrey Show.[10]

She has also been a regular moderator at the United Nations' celebration of International Women's Day.[11][12][13]
