Following the completion of her internship, Baste moved to France and became a freelancer for Cannes TV.[2][5] After two years, she moved to Guadeloupe,[3] becoming the editor of subjects relating to Saint Barthélemy and Saint-Martin at RFO. In 2007, Baste had her first appearance on television, presenting the local news programme Magazine Caraïbe.[2][5] She had made the appearance on short notice.[6] Baste made the decision to return to Martinique in July 2009,[3] and became the chair of debates and sports programmes on the Martinique 1re [fr] channel starting from 2011.[4][5] In mid-2015, she presented the weekend news bulletin Soir 3 Weekend broadcast on Friday to Sunday on France 3 in place of Francis Letellier.[1]

In 2016, Baste was chosen to read the overseas news from 6:00 in the morning on the 24 hour television news channel France Info from 1 September of that year.[7][8] She got the job after an encounter with the channel's director Stéphane Dubun in Paris,[5] and successfully applied for the position via telephone in July 2016.[9] That year, she also hosted a programme on the Zika virus at the France Télévisions headquarters in Paris.[9] Baste spent the next three television seasons at France Info before moving to join the breakfast television programme Télématin alongside Laurent Bignolas [fr] in 2019 as well as reading the news as a relief presenter on 13 heures at 1:00 in the afternoon on France 2.[5][4] She has also worked as a contributor to the monthly debate magazine Résonance, presented the programme Caraïbe on an alternate basis with Sonia Laventure, contributed to the programme Caméra direct,[1][3] and was on the Ça fait l'actu programme on France Info.[2]
