NBC 4 New York / WNBC and Telemundo 47 / WNJU announced the creation of a new San Juan news bureau which will deliver additional coverage of Puerto Rico’s ongoing rebuilding and recovery efforts following Hurricane Maria.
The new bureau launched this week and will operate through February 2018. Led by bilingual reporter Julio “Gaby” Acevedo, the station’s new news bureau will deliver daily English and Spanish-language news and updates for WNBC and WNJU as well as all NBC and Telemundo-owned stations across the country. Acevedo’s reports will be available on-air and across the stations’ mobile and digital platforms.
“Puerto Rico’s continued recovery is very important to WNBC viewers and their families. For this reason, our station is establishing a new San Juan news bureau to deliver live, comprehensive daily news coverage for our viewers directly from Puerto Rico. We are the only Tri-State station to take this important step and look forward to keeping our viewers informed,” said Eric Lerner, NBC 4 New York president and general manager.
“Telemundo was born in Puerto Rico more than 60 years ago and our Telemundo 47 viewers hold a deep and personal connection to the island. They continue to clamor for more local news and information. This is why our station has joined with WNBC to create this first-of-its-kind, Puerto Rico-based news bureau,” said Cristina Schwarz, Telemundo 47 president, and general manager.
