After that, she worked at several TV stations, initially under the name Virginia Silva, including KOLD-TV in Tucson, Arizona;[2]Template:R/superscript KCOP-TV in Los Angeles;[3] and KNXV-TV in Phoenix, where she was an investigative reporter. Silva considered her best work to that time to be at KNXV,[2]Template:R/superscript but a change in the station's news direction left her unhappy and prompted her departure.[4]
After leaving KNXV, Silva sent her resume to consultant Don Fitzpatrick, who sent out a demo tape containing a story on Mexican witchcraft. That drew the interest of the syndicated entertainment newsmagazine Extra, for whom she worked between 1997 and 2000. During this time, she also hosted a syndicated series, Viva Hollywood!, profiling Hispanics in entertainment.[2]Template:R/superscript Silva returned to KCOP in 2001 as a reporter and back-up anchor.[5] Shortly after, Fox Television Stations—owner of KTTV—acquired KCOP, with its departments merging under Fox leadership.[6] As of 2025[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., Silva is the special projects reporter for KTTV.[7]
