Rivera to host CNN Latino show

Sarykarmen Rivera, who recently quit her job at Telemundo Austin, has landed a new gig.  She starts today at CNN Latino Tampa Bay.

She’ll be anchoring a news magazine morning show called “Buenos Dias Tampa Bay.” The show will go on the air July 15.

“I’m very excited about this opportunity,” Marykarmen tells me. “Because I started my TV career here in Tampa Bay so it is a homecoming experience.”

WTAM Chanel 30, Tampa is one of two Simma Communications stations that signed on to be part of the CNN Latino expansion announced two months ago.  

Simma will also air CNN Latino on WATV-LV Channel 47, Orlando.
