Her television career began in 1981 when she wrote to [[Television New Zealand]] suggesting they might like a new presenter for alternative music show [[Radio with Pictures]]. Producer Peter Blake thought
It was too much change for some of the audience. She had a [[New Zealand accent]] in an era when BBC style [[received pronunciation]] was compulsory for New Zealand television presenters, and they were required to attend elocution lessons. She either refused to attend, or was let off. Hay was the first New Zealand television presenter to speak with a New Zealand accent.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Harrop|first1=Nicky|title=The Kiwi accent on screen|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11816454|work=NZ Herald Weekend Rewind|date=11 March 2017|accessdate=5 April 2017}}</ref> Journalist Veronica Schmidt recalled that

Off-screen, she spearheaded a campaign to introduce a compulsory New Zealand music airplay quota for New Zealand radio. It resulted in a petition of 250,000 signatures being presented to Parliament. New Zealand radio stations agreed to a voluntary quota of New Zealand music content.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cammick|first1=Murray|title=John McCready part 3 - the CBS years|url=http://www.audioculture.co.nz/people/john-mccready/stories/john-mccready-part-3-the-cbs-years|website=Audio Culture|accessdate=5 April 2017|date=4 May 2016}}</ref> She was the inaugural chair of the Auckland chapter of Women in Film and Television.
In 1987, Hay moved to [[London]] with partner [[Andrew Fagan]], ex-lead singer of rock band [[The Mockers]]. The couple lived on a [[houseboat]] on the [[River Thames]]
She returned to television presenting in 2008 for ''Rocked the Nation'' and the 2015 documentary ''NZ Women in Rock''.
In February 2018, Hay began a late night radio show on [[RNZ National]] ''Lately, With Karyn Hay''. In September 2022 it was announced that Hay's show would be extended earlier into the evening to replace the departing [[Bryan Crump]]'s night show.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-07 |title=Karyn Hay new host of RNZ weeknights |url=https://www.odt.co.nz/entertainment/karyn-hay-new-host-rnz-weeknights |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=Otago Daily Times Online News |language=en}}</ref> On the 13th of June, 2023, she announced her resignation to RNZ to 'Concentrate on her writing projects.'<ref>Karyn Hay Resigns https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/491901/rnz-presenter-karyn-hay-resigns</ref>

''Emerald Budgies'' was described in the [[blurb]] as "a darkly comic tale of drug addiction and betrayal". It was first published in [[England]], in 2000, under the nom de plume Lee Maxwell (her middle names). She had wanted to throw off her previous public image but, on the promotional tour that followed, she said she felt like an imposter in a spy movie. "I started thinking, maybe I don't want to be this new person, maybe it's not so bad being Karyn Hay."

Her third novel, ''Winged Helmet, White Horse'' was published in New Zealand in 2018 with the NZ Listener calling Hay "a smart, gutsy writer ... it’s impossible to read this book without hearing her trademark vocal delivery. She isn’t afraid of flawed characters or loose ends, and throws in plot twists you won’t see coming. Good at witty dialogue, she also takes a few comic and barbed pokes at middle-class life and the literary world".
In Spring 2018, she was a resident at the [[Michael King Writers
