Dana Tyler

Tyler returned as the anchor on WCBS's 11 p.m. newscast, in addition to her 6 p.m. duties, both alongside Jim Rosenfield, on April 17, 2006 as part of a shakeup in anchors where no one stayed in their old capacity. She replaced veteran WABC-TV anchor Roz Abrams, who had replaced her a few years prior (Abrams moved to the noon and 5pm newscasts, but is now no longer with the station) only to be replaced again in 2007 by Kristine Johnson. She had a relationship with Phil Collins from 2006 until 2014. She lives in Stamford.

In 2000, she guest starred as herself on Everybody Loves Raymond in the episode "Robert's Rodeo," promoting an upcoming news story with video of a bull chasing a police officer – that officer being Robert Barone.

Tyler also had a cameo in the Woody Allen film Small Time Crooks as a television reporter, which also came out in 2000.

At WCBS, Tyler has worked alongside some of the best known television news anchors in New York City. She was the last anchor desk partner for Jim Jensen and has worked alongside Brian Williams, Ernie Anastos, John Johnson, Michele Marsh, Ira Joe Fisher and Roz Abrams. She also worked with Stephen Clark, Don Dahler, and Chris Wragge. Tyler remained in her post in 1996 when a large number of anchors, reporters, sports and weather people were fired.

Tyler grew up in Worthington, Ohio and attended Worthington High School. After graduating from Boston University, she began her career at WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio before moving to WCBS in 1990 as weekend anchor and reporter. Along with Reggie Harris, she was part of the first African American team in the New York market to anchor a newscast. She quickly moved up to the 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. newscasts in 1993.
