Ricardo León Sánchez de Reinaldo (born July 3, 1958)[1][2] is a Cuban-American journalist, radio host, and author. After working as the lead local anchor on Miami's WSVN, Sánchez moved to cable news, first as a daytime anchor at MSNBC, later at CNN, where he began as a correspondent and ultimately rose to become an anchor. On CNN, he hosted a show Rick's List and served as a contributor to Anderson Cooper 360° and CNN International, where he frequently reported and translated between English and Spanish. Sánchez was fired from CNN on October 1, 2010, following controversial remarks he made on a radio program.[3] In July 2011, Sánchez was hired by Florida International University, to serve as a color commentator for radio broadcasts of the school's football team.[4] He worked as a columnist for Fox News and Fox News Latino,[5] and a former correspondent for Spanish language network Mundo Fox.
