She initially worked the afternoon and late night newscasts, often the 5 PM airing before moving to the 11 PM newscasts in 1993. Over the next few years, she worked with numerous popular news anchors from New York City, becoming the last anchor desk partner for reporter Jim Jensen before his passing in 1999.

In recent years, Tyler hosted the half-hour show entitled “Eye on New York”, which focuses on weekly community affairs. She also became the regular anchors of the 6PM newscast of the network, and was additionally assigned to be a regular anchor for the 11PM newscast alongside Jim Rosenfield. The new assignments began during a shake-up in 2006, when all staff members were assigned to different projects with no one staying in their old jobs. She replaced anchor Roz Abrams, but her run with the 11PM newscast would be short lived, as she was replaced by Kristine Johnson a year later.

Other Work and Popular Media

While Dana mainly studied with a focus on journalism, she also took acting lessons as she was also interested in the craft. This led her to get acting roles later in her career, beginning with a guest starring role in the sitcom entitled “Everybody Loves Raymond” starring Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton. In the episode, she is seen promoting a news story of a bull-chasing police officer Robert Barone played by Brad Garrett.

During the same year, she also had a cameo role in the film entitled “Small Time Crooks”, in which she played a television reporter. The comedy film attracted positive reviews, and was nominated for several awards. Her next film project would come 10 years later, in the 2010 film entitled “Kick-Ass”, which is based on the comic book of the same name published by Marvel Comics, and is the first in the “Kick-Ass” film series. The story focuses on an ordinary teenager trying to become a real-life superhero.

Personal Life

For her personal life, it is known that Tyler had a relationship with singer, musician, record producer and actor Phil Collins, beginning in 2009 just after his divorce from his third wife Orianne Cevey. They stayed together for eight years, but she was surprised when Collins announced that he was leaving her to return to his ex-wife, the shock of their break-up seeing Tyler take from WCBS to recover. She later went on record stating that their relationship did not end well, and she wished he did things differently. Phil moved to be closer with his family and later announced that he had reunited with his ex-wife. There are no further reports of Dana having romantic associations, but time has been short.
