A woman must wear the hijab and cover her body from non-mahram men once she reaches one of the signs of puberty, because the hijab is an obligation legislated by Allah for the Muslim woman. It is also recommended for her to cover herself when she reaches ten years of age. As for a woman working as a television announcer, it is forbidden by Sharia, because it necessitates mixing with men and appearing continuously before them.
