Prestedge subsequently became director of the broadcast journalism program at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario. In 2001, she was named senior vice president of WTSN, the world's first television channel devoted exclusively to women's sports. The channel ceased operations in 2003, and Prestedge rejoined the CBC in a management role.
