Ward hosted The Truth About Traffic on the Discovery Channel in 2009,[5] and was a correspondent for Neil DeGrasse Tyson on NOVA ScienceNow on PBS in 2010.[6] In 2012, Ward hosted two shows for the National Geographic Channel: a one-hour special, American's Money Vault,[7] and a second one-hour special, Top Secret.[8] In 2013, Ward left Popular Science to join Al Jazeera America, a cable news network launched that same year,[9] as the channel's science and technology correspondent.[10] After the shutdown of the channel he was retained by Al Jazeera for Al Jazeera English.
