Chris Peña is leaving Miami to become assistant news director at WMAQ, NBC’s O&O in Chicago.
The Chicago Tribune reports Chris starts his new role on September 8.
Chris has been executive producer of the late news at WTVJ-6. Before that, he was news director at WSCV-51, Telemundo’s O&O in Miami.
NBC Universal last month sold WTVJ to Post-Newsweek Stations, which owns the ABC affiliate in Miami, pending approval from the FCC.
