Award-winning reporter Gio Benitez is joining ABC News as a New York City-based network correspondent, reporting for all platforms.
ABC News President Ben Sherwood made the announcement to staff about an hour ago.
Gio starts the new job in January. He joins ABC News from WFOR, the CBS O&O in Miami, where he has been working as a reporter for the past 3 years and where he’ll remain as a weekend anchor and weeknight reporter until the end of the year. He was previously an investigative producer at the station, a job he held since 2008.
Before WFOR, Gio was a correspondent for the nationally syndicated radio show, “Into Tomorrow with Dave Graveline,” covering consumer electronics and technology and also reported for CBS Radio News.
