KBLR Telemundo Las Vegas has hired Claudia de la Fuente as co-anchor of the station’s weekday evening newscasts.
She makes her debut today on the 6 and 11 pm shows, alongside co-anchor Antonio Texeira.
De la Fuente replaces Alejandra Ortiz, who left the station earlier this year to become KVEA 52’s weekend news anchor.
Texeira had been solo anchoring since Ortiz’s departure.
This is de La Fuente’s first job in the U.S. She joins Telemundo Las Vegas after working as a news anchor and reporter for Televisa Monterrey since 2012. She was previously a coordinator and content producer for Azteca Noreste from 2011 to 2012.
