Clara Benitez will join Corpus Christi, Texas NBC affiliate KRIS as an evening anchor.

“I’m excited to announce I have accepted an evening anchor role at KRIS6 News in Corpus Christi (anything for Selenas) I never expected to be back in South Texas, but man it feels so good. See you on TV, May 1st,” Benitez said on social media.
