PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Local 10 is welcoming Louis Aguirre back to South Florida's No. 1 news team.
Aguirre, who began his career in Miami and worked at Local 10 from 1988 to 1992, will return to the station to anchor the 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. newscasts. Aguirre will also report on the Local 10 News at 11.
A graduate of the University of Miami, Aguirre covered important stories in and around our community; becoming one of the few American journalists allowed into Cuba to cover the 30th anniversary of the Cuban missile crisis and having the rare opportunity to interview Fidel Castro.
Aguirre was later hired by the Fox News Channel for the network's Fox and Friends morning show. He spent 14 years at Miami's WSVN before moving on in 2014 to anchor the nationally-syndicated program The Insider.
“We are thrilled to welcome Louis back to South Florida, and back to WPLG, the station where his career began,” said WPLG President Bert Medina.
Aguirre will return to Local 10 in September as he replaces Victor Oquendo, who is leaving the station to become a correspondent with ABC News.
