FOX News Channel (FNC) has re-signed National Correspondent
Bryan Llenas to a new multiyear deal, announced Jay Wallace,
President & Executive Editor, FOX News Media. Llenas will
continue to cover national breaking news based out of New York
City.
In making the announcement Wallace said, “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.”
Llenas added, “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. 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.”
After joining the network in 2010, Llenas began his career with
FNC as a reporter for FOX News Latino and transitioned to his role
as FNC correspondent in 2013. Throughout this past year, Llenas
offered extensive reporting on a number of the nation’s most
pressing headlines. Most recently, he 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 Governor 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 Congressman Chris Collins (R-NY), and the family separation
crisis at the U.S./Mexico border in 2018. In 2017, Llenas covered
Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, traveling to Puerto Rico, six
months after the powerful storm to update viewers on the recovery
efforts. In addition, he also became the first non-French
journalist to fly with the precision aerobatic demonstration team
of the French Air Force, Patrouille de France.
During the 2016 election season, Llenas contributed to numerous
reports, including the Latino vote from both the Republican
National Convention and the Democratic National Convention. He also
was part of the team covering President Donald Trump’s transition
to the White House, reporting from Bedminster, New Jersey and Trump
Tower in New York. 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.
As a member of the inaugural launch team that developed FOX News
Latino, Llenas has covered key issues including immigration,
politics and news affecting the Hispanic community. Named one of
the Top 50 Latino voices to follow on Twitter, Llenas received a
bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science
