Fiducia was hired by the Fox News Channel in New York in September 1999 as an anchor and live host. In 2003, she was reassigned to overnight duty where she was both a long-form and news update anchorwoman. In late 2006, she retired from Fox and relocated to Georgia. Prior to this, she had worked at Fox-owned WNYW in New York City. In her four years at WNYW, she was a general assignment reporter for the 10 o'clock news. She also anchored Good Day New York and Good Day Sunday, where she anchored the news as well as performing celebrity and lifestyle interviews. Fiducia gained national recognition as the host of Entertainment Watch on VH-1, featuring entertainment news and celebrity interviews from movie stars to musicians. She became New York's first television helicopter traffic reporter at WNBC-TV in 1995. She was also a general assignment reporter for Live At Five, the 6 and 11 o'clock news and Weekend Today.
Fiducia began her career at Shadow Traffic in New York. She went on to report from WNBC Radio's "N Copter", where she worked daily with Howard Stern and Don Imus.[1][2][3] She was news director and morning news anchor of the famed rock radio station WNEW-FM.[4]
Fiducia did some acting in the first rap-influenced feature-length movie, Tougher Than Leather with Run DMC, and on the 1980 CBS television show The Equalizer in which she played a newscaster. In 2006, she was in the movie Being Michael Madsen in which she again played a reporter.[5]

Fiducia graduated from Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey in 1975, and graduated magna cum laude from Seton Hall with degrees in communications and political science. She was active in the college's radio station, WSOU-FM. Fiducia also studied flute and piccolo during this time.[6][7][8]
Cowboy Logic[edit]
In 2013, Fiducia co-founded WDFP-Restoring America Radio,[9] an Internet-based Conservative Talk Radio network. She co-hosts Cowboy Logic with her husband, Don Neuen.[10][11] Fiducia and Neuen partnered with Major General Paul E. Vallely and his organization, Stand Up America US and are members of the Stand Up America US Kitchen Cabinet of Advisors.[12]
In 2014, WDFP-Restoring America Radio formed a partnership with Scott James, owner of multiple terrestrial radio stations, including WDDQ - Talk 92.1FM in Valdosta, GA and WJHC - Talk 107.5 in Jasper, FL. [13][14]
In 2015, Fiducia and Neuen formed a partnership with Premo Mondone, founder of Red State Talk Radio, to create the Dominant Force in Conservative Internet Talk Radio.[15]
The combined powerhouse of Premo Mondone, Donna Fiducia, Scott James and Don Neuen created the perfect marriage between Internet & Terrestrial radio.[16]
On February 27, 2016, devastation hit the RSTR family, as Premo Mondone passed away suddenly.[17]
In late 2016, Ron Phillips contacted Don Neuen to discuss the idea of working together on a new network. Phillips, James, Fiducia and Neuen created Talk America Radio with Phillips as the General Manager to carry on the legacy of Premo Mondone. Talk America Radio was very successful in furthering the marriage between Terrestrial Radio (AM/FM) and Internet Radio.[18]
In 2018, talk radio icon, Doc Thompson and Ron Phillips formed Mojo 5.0 Radio and immediately added Cowboy Logic Radio to the regular line up. In addition, Mojo 5.0 Radio added all the shows that were created / produced under the Donna Fiducia Productions umbrella such as; Black Man Thinkin', Drive Time SITREP and The Denise Simon Experience.[19][20]
In January 2021, Cowboy Logic moved from a radio show to television show was picked up by Real America's Voice network as a weekly series featured multiple times during their weekend programming schedule.[21]
