Guida began his career as a reporter for WSAV-TV in Savannah, Georgia, and later G.E.’s WRGB Television in Albany/Schenectady, New York. Guida began his career in New York City as a reporter for WOR-TV (now WWOR-TV) in 1970, and later as co-anchor of the station’s former 7pm broadcast in 1971.
Guida joined WNBC as a weekend co-anchor in 1972, later becoming the station’s Chief Political Reporter. Guida became the Chief Political Reporter at WCBS-TV in 1981. Guida returned to WNBC-TV in 1986 as Chief Political Reporter, and was promoted to co-anchor of Live at Five in 1989. Guida was promoted to co-anchor of Today in New York in 1991, when the Live at Five brand was momentarily dropped from WNBC-TV.
When Guida’s contract with the station expired in 1992, he was given a job as the anchor of a new noon program, which did not begin until 1995.

During this time, Guida continued his usual WCBS-TV responsibilities. Guida was sacked from WCBS-TV in 1996, along with Johnson, Michele Marsh, and other anchors.
Guida was eventually appointed as the lead anchor for WBIS-TV, a Dow Jones & Company-owned station that broadcast a hybrid mix of sports and business news.
