KTAZ-39, the Telemundo O&O in Phoenix has hired Rebeka Diaz to be part of the station’s new weekday newscast anchor team.
Starting today, she’ll be co-anchoring Noticiero Telemundo Arizona at 4:30, 5 and 10 pm alongside Daniel Aguirre.
Daniel, who has been weekend anchor since July 2014, replaces Rubén Pereida as weekday anchor.
Rubén is being moved to weekends to anchor the 4:30 and 10 pm newscasts. He’ll also be a reporter for the weekday newscasts.
Rubén had been the station’s main anchor since February 2013.
Rebeka joins Telemundo Phoenix from Efekto Noticias in Mexico City, where she worked as a News Anchor from 2009 to 2013. She previously worked at CNN’s Mexico City Bureau as a writer, assistant producer and field producer from 2008 to 2009. She began her career as a communications specialist for Centro de Información de las Naciones Unidas in Mexico City in 2006.
OK I’m getting very excited but also worried I think It should been Ruben and Diaz even through Daniel is a good journalist you know what never-mind I remember Ruben weekend anchor at rival station Univision33. Like now that the Telemundo News expansion is still continuing I hope they add a couple newscast to Chicago. Is like also That Telemundo working very hard since the debut of the 5:30 PM 4:30PM newscast to do double anchors and a weather anchor and sports anchor all Telemundo O@O no longer have solo anchors it’s like it want all of it’s station to have a duo anchors should I said a complete team.
Last new news team with a co-anchor debut was Telemundo 60 San Antonio again It looks like all off TelemundoO@O station apart of this news expansion want a four anchors team most of these station only had solo news anchor now most of them are now duos.
Ruben Perida should have never been moved! Diaz looks nervous on live tv. I don’t like the change. telemundo you need Ruben back as anchor!!
