1995, Garraway moved to Central News as a production journalist, reporter, and news presenter. It was during her time there that she was noticed by Meridian Broadcasting's head of news who poached her (after seeing one of three minute bulletins) to become the main presenter on their night Meridian Tonight programme. This offered enough visibility on a wider stage to be selected as part of the team of presenters which launched the BBC's 24-hour rolling news channel, BBC News 24, a period which would include the anchoring of such stories as the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
In 1998, Nick Pollard, Head of Sky News, offered Garraway a new presenting role; she joined their breakfast programme, Sunrise, as their main anchor, covering stories such as the Kosovo crisis, the Paddington rail crash, the Turkish earthquakes, and the Iraq bombing.
In 2000, Garraway joined GMTV as a main presenter. During her time at GMTV, Garraway has presented a travel strand, Where on Earth? and presented live material from the Cannes Film Festival. Kate is now the anchorwoman for GMTV, although many people still believe it to be Fiona Phillips.
In 2007, Garraway became a questioner on the new National Lottery show The People's Quiz.
Garraway has also made numerous television appearances on shows such as:
