An insider just emailed with this scoop. The new hire is Tom Llamas and he was most recently an MSNBC campaign embed with the Al Sharpton presidential campaign. WTVJ’s GM Ardy Diercks has been after him for months and when his contract with MSNBC expired she finally got him. Llamas also is a Miami native who studied drama.
More details as I have them. Thanks to the insider for emailing me 🙂
update 1/12: he starts Monday
Was he a 1997 graduate of Belen High School?
