It looks like Bryan Llenas will be sticking around Fox News for at least a couple more years.
The network announced today that it has-resigned the network’s national correspondent to a new multi-year deal.
Llenas will continue to cover national breaking news based out of New York.
“Bryan has done excellent, on-the-ground reporting during numerous breaking news situations and we look forward to his continued work with FOX News for years to come,” Fox News president Jay Wallace announced in a statement.
“After nearly a decade at Fox News Channel, I think of my esteemed colleagues as family and I couldn’t be more thrilled to continue my tenure at the best news organization in the country,” added Llenas.”Being able to report on critical breaking news stories that matter to our viewers is something I am very passionate about and I’m lucky to also call it my job.”
Llenas began his career with FNC as a reporter for Fox News Latino in 2010 and transitioned to his role as FNC correspondent in 2013. Most recently, Llenas served as the lead reporter covering the case of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein as the story unfolded and resulted in Epstein’s suicide. Additionally, Llenas covered the historical political protests live on the ground from Puerto Rico as citizens mobilized in Old San Juan demanding the ouster of Gov. Ricardo Rosselló. Over the summer, Llenas covered the highly anticipated trial of Mexican drug lord Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman as he was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life in prison.
Previously, Llenas reported on various breaking news events for the network, including the guilty verdict from the Bill Cosby sexual assault trial in Pennsylvania, the indictment against New York Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY), and the family separation crisis at the U.S./Mexico border in 2018. Llenas covered Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria in 2017.
During the 2016 election season, Llenas reported on the Latino vote from both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention. He also was part of the team covering Pres. Trump’s transition to the White House. Throughout his tenure at FNC, Llenas has covered a wide array of stories, including the 2016 terror bombings in Manhattan, the 2014 World Cup live from Brazil, the inauguration of Pope Francis live from Rome and the Pope’s subsequent visit to the U.S.
Llenas was a member of the inaugural launch team that developed Fox News Latino, and has been named one of the Top 50 Latino voices to follow on Twitter.
