Marybel Rodriguez is an Emmy-nominated reporter at CBS Miami.
She began her career as a "spokesmodel" on the popular Univision television show "Sabado Gigante," the longest-running entertainment show in history seen in every Spanish-speaking country in the world. After six years with the show, Marybel was lured away to become a feature and entertainment reporter for WPLG. Her desire to cover hard news stories persuaded her to make the switch to CBS4 a few months later.
Marybel is pleased to volunteer her time with the Hispanic community.
