She has previously worked for the YES Network as a co-host of Yankees on Deck and Sportslife NYC, and was the host of YES' Ultimate Road Trip and inHD's Cathedrals of the Game. Beadle was also a sideline reporter for the YES Network's coverage of New Jersey Nets basketball games, and the San Antonio Spurs.[1] In 2002, Beadle was a "behind-the-chutes" reporter for TNN's coverage of the Professional Bull Riders' Bud Light Cup tour, in what was the channel's final season of broadcasting the PBR before the tour moved to OLN. She has also hosted ESPN's Titan Games, Fox Sports Net's Big Game Hunters, and College Sports Television's The 1 College Sports Show.

On January 12, 2009, Beadle became the "New York SportsCenter" anchor for The Michael Kay Show on 1050 ESPN, New York. It was announced on May 14 during the show that she would be leaving on May 22, reportedly to ESPN's television arm. (Her colleagues expressed incredulous dismay at the "surprise announcement," which they had known about since early April.)[2]
