From 1996 until October 2001, Santana was a weekend anchor and primary weekday fill-in anchor at WNYW-TV in New York City, which she left when she and management could not come to terms and her contract was not renewed.[3][4]

In January 2002, Santana joined WBBM-TV in Chicago as the station's weekend co-anchor.[5] In June 2003, Santana resigned from WBBM after management demoted her from being a weekend news anchor in favor of the husband-and-wife weekend anchoring team of Jon Duncanson and Sylvia Gomez.
