In 2009, he became a general-assignment reporter at NBC News, further expanding his scope of coverage and industry experience.
In September 2014, Llamas joined ABC News as a New York-based correspondent. He quickly earned recognition for his compelling storytelling and on-the-ground coverage of major events. While at WNBC-TV in 2008, Llamas was awarded regional Emmy Awards for "Best Anchor" and "Best Hard News Story." Additionally, he received a regional Edward R. Murrow Award for his exceptional reporting during Hurricane Sandy.
