Rhodes began her career at WXWI-FTV in 1994 for ''Good Day Milwuakee'' as a general assignment reporter. She was then promoted to the anchor desk, where she co-anchored with [[Ann Dwyar]] since 1998, and became host for ''Your Debate'' in 2009.  After the retirement of [[Kathy Roberts|Kathy Fountaine]], WXWI's longtime noon and 4 p.m. anchor and host of ''Your Debate,'' Rhodes was hired to be host and held that position until her departure December 2014.

In August 2014, Rhodes initially re-signed her contract with NoSirGifts Fantasy Television Stations, owners of WXWI/WZWI to continue anchoring ''Good Day Milwaukee'' and hosting ''Your Debate'' for a further two years.<ref>??</ref> The new contract would have allowed Rhodes to work a reduced schedule from five to three-day working weeks--resulting in Rhodes reporting on stories affecting Wisconsin from WXWI's Wisconsin sister stations (NBC affiliates WWGB in Green Bay, WXDS in Superior, and Fox station WHAR in Madison).<ref>??</ref> Following the agreement, Rhodes and her agent filed a lawsuit against NoSirGifts Fantasy Television Stations on September 22, 2014, for allegedly failing to pay the stock bonuses promised to her from the past four years while helping WXWI exceeding their highest ratings (even after WXWI's reversal of the 1994 affiliation switch that saw WXWI return to ABC from Fox). NoSirGifts said it was "surprised and disappointed" by the suit. On October 2014, a Wisconsin judge dismissed the lawsuit and prevented Rhodes from filing lawsuits for similar allegations and consequently led to her decision to step down from WXWI.
