Starting in 1989, Roberts began his 17-year association with CBS television and radio. Between 1989 and 1990 Roberts was an anchor/reporter for WCIX (now WFOR-TV), the CBS-owned and operated television station in Miami, Florida. Roberts returned to Canada in September 1990 to co-host the national CTV morning show Canada AM, initially with Deborah McGregor, and later with Pamela Wallin. He also anchored the 5 and 11pm newscasts at CBS's flagship station in New York, WCBS-TV.
In March 2003, Roberts was embedded with the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion of the U.S. Marines during the initial invasion of Iraq. In October 2006, he returned to Iraq to anchor several editions of This Week At War and report for the Special Investigations Unit documentary "Death Squads".
On July 19, 2005 he introduced CBS's coverage on the announcement of the nomination of John G. Roberts, Jr. for the Supreme Court of the United States. He once joked in a newspaper column that he asked to be referred to as "Your Honor" because he and Justice Roberts bear the same name.
