Guida"s career in New York began in 1970 at New York television station WOR-television (now WWOR-television) as a reporter and later in 1971 as co-anchor of that station"s former 7pm newscast. In 1972, Guida went to W National Broadcasting Company as a weekend co-anchor, later becoming Chief Political Reporter for the station.

In 1986, Guida re-joined W National Broadcasting Company-television as Chief Political Reporter, and in 1989, Guida was promoted to co-anchor of Live at Five. In 1991 when the Live at Five moniker was briefly dropped from W National Broadcasting Company-television, Guida was made co-anchor of Today in New New York
Guida was very unhappy with his move. When his contract with the station expired in 1992, Guida was offered a job to anchor a new noon newscast which did not start until 1995.
Guida would also be responsible for keeping his co-hosting duties on Today In New New York
Guida turned this offer down when he accepted WCBS-television"s offer as a senior reporter. In 1993, Guida added 5pm co-anchor to his reporting duties. In 1994, Guida was switched from 5pm to 6pm co-anchor.
In 1995, Guida replaced Jim Jensen as co-anchor of WCBS-television"s Sunday morning public affairs program, Sunday Edition.
That same year, Guida was made co-anchor of the 5pm and 11pm newscasts for a short period of time after John Roberts left to join Columbia Broadcasting System News and before John Johnson joined from WABC-television Guida kept his other WCBS-television duties during this short period of time. In 1996, Guida, along with Johnson, Michele Marsh and other WCBS-television anchors were fired from the station.
Guida was later hired as lead anchor for a new station launched by Dow Jones & Company, WBIS+. When that station was sold to Paxson Communications in 1997, Guida joined CNNfn as a daytime anchor.
During that period of time, Guida filled in for Lou Dobbs on Moneyline, a business news show that aired on both Cable News Network and CNNfn and is now known as Lou Dobbs Tonight.
In 2001, Guida was yet again a part of a mass firing, this time at Cable News Network. Later that year, Guida joined WCBS-Department of Administration and Management as an anchor where he anchored coverage of the September 11, 2001 attacks throughout that day. Guida remains there today.
