After spending a brief time in radio, he worked in print journalism during the mid-1980s, for United Press International. In December, 1984 he became the Central American Bureau Chief for what was then called the Spanish International Network (today known as Univision). In 1987 he was one of the group of Journalists that founded Telemundo news, creating Noticias Telemundo/HBC. He subsequently established himself as a television news reporter in Miami, where he worked for WTVJ from 1988 till he was hired by CBS in May 1996. In August 1996, he made history by becoming the first Cuban-American to host a network news program when he began anchoring for the CBS News program This Morning. By 2000, he returned to Spanish language network television; he became the anchor of a new Telemundo morning program called Esta Manana. He later co-hosted Telemundo's first morning news and entertainment show, Esta Mañana, as well as its public affairs show, Cada Día. By 2002, the bilingual anchor began hosting a once-a-month interview program on Telemundo, Enfoque con José Diaz-Balart; on that program, he has interviewed a wide range of news-makers, including political leaders and candidates for president. He has interviewed every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan. In 2003, he returned to English-language TV, and to his former station in Miami, WTVJ, as a news anchor. In 2009 he became the anchor of Telemundo's evening newscast, Noticias Telemundo.
By 2010, he was doing some reporting for NBC. He again made history when he substituted for Contessa Brewer on MSNBC Live for the week of June 20 through 24, 2011, in the show's 12 PM time slot, making him the first U.S. journalist to broadcast both English and Spanish newscasts on two networks simultaneously.
From 2014 to 2016 Diaz-Balart hosted the 10 AM news hour for MSNBC, replacing Chris Jansing. It was announced on November 10, 2014, that he would be taking over hosting duties on The Daily Rundown on November 17, 2014, with the program expanding to two hours, essentially absorbing his eponymous show that had previously aired during the second hour. The Daily Rundown later became known as MSNBC Live with Jose Diaz-Balart as part of a wider restructuring of MSNBC's dayside programming in 2015. In late 2015, he also began working as a fill-in anchor for the Saturday edition of NBC Nightly News. He was officially named host of that program in July 2016, and he continues in that position today.
On February 18, 2016, Diaz-Balart moderated the Democratic Town Hall with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, in Las Vegas Nevada. On June 26 and 27 of 2019, Diaz-Balart co-moderated the first Democratic Presidential Debates on NBC and Telemundo.
On September 7, 2021, it was announced he was stepping down as anchor of the weeknight editions of Noticias Telemundo to anchor a new 10 A.M. show called José Díaz-Balart Reports on MSNBC. He will continue to anchor NBC Nightly News Saturday, and will continue to anchor breaking news and special events coverage for Telemundo and host monthly specials.
