Telemundo's José Díaz-Balart has a new gig.

Díaz-Balart has been named MSNBC's 10 a.m. anchor after Chris Jansing leaves to take over the Senior White House Correspondent position at MSNBC, notes MediaBistro. He will host the show from Miami, starting in mid-June. He will continue co-anchor Telemundo's "Noticiero Telemundo" and "Enfoque con José Díaz-Balart."

NBC owns MSNBC and Telemundo.

"MSNBC is committed to engaging new audiences and communities," said Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC. "To that end, I've been talking with José for several months about bringing his voice to MSNBC. He has a keen understanding of the political landscape and three decades of experience in both broadcast and cable news."

Jansing's last day for MSNBC is June 13, and on June 23, she starts working for NBC.

"It's a great privilege for me to be able to be a part of the MSNBC team while continuing my work with my colleagues at Telemundo," said Díaz-Balart. "I look forward to providing news and information in a dynamic and objective manner, while always recognizing America's unique diversity."

He began his career in journalism in 1983, and he is the first journalist to serve on national Spanish and English networks on the same day for an entire season. He has been awarded for his accomplishments in journalism. He's gotten the George Foster Peabody Award, Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award and the Broadcasting & Cable/Multichannel News 2012 Award for Outstanding Achievement in Hispanic Television.

He has won two Emmy Awards as well. He has also been named one of the 100 most influential people in the United States by Hispanic Business Magazine.

One of Díaz-Balart's parents was a former Cuban politician, and his brother Mario is a U.S. Congressman. His other brother Lincoln is a former U.S. Congressman. His aunt, Mirta Díaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife, making Castro his uncle through marriage.
