After presenting regional BBC news programme Points West, Carpenter was a newsreader on the BBC's Breakfast Time from 1985 to 1986.[1][2] She later joined ITN, presenting many of their main bulletins, usually during the daytime and the early evening news.

Her name is frequently mentioned, often comedically in the British television comedy programme series Bottom, starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, and in one episode a signed photo of her is portrayed as a prize in a game of poker.

Carpenter continues to present Transworld Sport on Channel Four in voice only.
