Before that, he was a newsman on WHUR-FM, Howard University's commercial radio station. In October 1997, McGinty began to appear as a freelance reporter on the CBS news program Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel. After several months, he made the move permanent and left WAMU in January 1998.

McGinty joined ABC News in New York City, where he appeared on ABC's World News Now, and World News This Morning, HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, and WUSA's Eye on Washington. In August 2015, his contract was not renewed for on-air news anchoring, but he announced that he would continue to host WUSA's Sunday morning show Capital Download.
