Her years as a broadcaster, according to CHBN Radio, have made her a household name.[2] Beginning in 2004, Blaby was the breakfast traffic reporter for BBC Radio 5 Live, including reporting live from her home during a 2005 storm.[3] In January 2010, she began reporting during the drivetime slot.[4] Since then, she has been a presenter on BBC Northampton, hosting from noon to 3 pm on a magazine show Monday-Friday. She has also worked as a cover presenter for BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
Blaby's travel reporting was referred to in a British Journalism Review article by media executive and broadcaster Matthew Bannister.[5] The BBC sent her out on the road again, but this time with a team of health professionals at venues throughout Northamptonshire county. She met listeners and encouraged residents to get full health checks.[6]
In 2006, she was one of several women in the news business interviewed by The Independent on what it's like being single and in the media.[7]
