Folasade Olayinka Baderinwa, known professionally as Sade Baderinwa (/ˈʃɑːdeɪ ˈbɑːdərɪnwɑː/ SHAH-day BAH-dər-in-wah), (born April 14, 1969) is a news anchor at New York's WABC Channel 7. She co-anchors the weekday 5 p.m. editions of Eyewitness News alongside Diana Williams and the 11pm news with Bill Ritter.
She joined WABC in 2003 after a stint in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, where she anchored the news on WBAL-TV for nearly three years.[1] Sade replaced Roz Abrams, who left WABC in 2003 to take over the 5 and 11 p.m. anchor duties at WCBS-TV.[2] On July 23, 2004 while preparing a report on location in Hackensack, New Jersey about local flooding, she was struck by a hit and run driver who went through police lines.[3][4][5] After multiple surgeries and months of recovery and physical therapy,[6] Sade returned to Eyewitness News on December 13, 2004.
Baderinwa was the anchor of the noon broadcasts before being promoted to 5 p.m. with Diana Williams. Sade appeared on The View as a guest co-host on October 27, 2006. In May, 2011, Baderinwa became co-anchor of the 11 p.m. news with Bill Ritter, replacing Liz Cho, who left that slot to anchor the new WABC 4 p.m newscast, which debuted due to the departure of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Baderinwa continues to anchor the 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. news.[7]
Her father is Nigerian and her mother is German. Her first name, "Folasade", means "Honor confers a crown".[8] She graduated from the University of Maryland College Park.[1] After being abandoned at a young age, Baderinwa was adopted by a middle-class African American family. She has maintained contact with her biological father who resides in Nigeria, as well as with her adoptive family.[9]
