She moved into sports presenting with the Show Jumping Ireland Premier Series in 2008 & 2009 on Sky Sports,[1] Horse & Country TV and TG4, and was the face of Leinster Rugby's online television channel Leinster Rugby TV.

Wyse then became a co-presenter on Ireland's only domestic motoring show Xccelerate on 3E.[1]

In July 2010, Wyse was offered a contract with Sky Sports News[3] and made her first appearance on the channel the same month.[1] She now works full-time as a Sky Sports News Anchor. Wyse has filmed special reports with Olympic boxer Katie Taylor, Irish international rugby player Brian O'Driscoll and Manchester United player Juan Mata, as well as reporting from the London Olympics 2012 and Wimbledon.

In May 2014, Wyse was announced as a presenter of Sky Sports's new coverage of Gaelic games. Sky purchased the broadcasting rights for Championship football and hurling from the GAA.[5][6]

Wyse has a Saturday column in the Irish Independent, WYSE ON SPORT, which contains opinion pieces covering all sports.

gollark: Go(lang) = bad.
gollark: ``` [...] MIPS is short for Millions of Instructions Per Second. It is a measure for the computation speed of a processor. Like most such measures, it is more often abused than used properly (it is very difficult to justly compare MIPS for different kinds of computers). BogoMips are Linus's own invention. The linux kernel version 0.99.11 (dated 11 July 1993) needed a timing loop (the time is too short and/or needs to be too exact for a non-busy-loop method of waiting), which must be calibrated to the processor speed of the machine. Hence, the kernel measures at boot time how fast a certain kind of busy loop runs on a computer. "Bogo" comes from "bogus", i.e, something which is a fake. Hence, the BogoMips value gives some indication of the processor speed, but it is way too unscientific to be called anything but BogoMips. The reasons (there are two) it is printed during boot-up is that a) it is slightly useful for debugging and for checking that the computer[’]s caches and turbo button work, and b) Linus loves to chuckle when he sees confused people on the news. [...]```I was wondering what BogoMIPS was, and wikipedia had this.

gollark: I think it's a server thing.
gollark: My slightly newer SomethingOrOther 5000 does too.
