Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos, best known as a longtime co-host of "Noticiero Univision," is leaving the network after a 40-year tenure. Ramos and Univision’s parent company TelevisaUnivision announced the newscaster’s exit, set for after the 2024 U.S. presidential election, in a press release Monday. "This is not a farewell. I will continue anchoring 'Noticiero Univision' until December, and afterwards I will share my professional plan," Ramos, 66, said in a statement. "I am deeply grateful for these four decades at Univision and very proud to be part of a team that has established strong leadership over the years." While Ramos did not disclose the reason for his exit, the TV journalist and Univision "mutually agreed" to not renew his contract.
[...] Known as the "Walter Cronkite of Latin America," Ramos joined "Noticiero Univision" in 1986, hosting the program alongside news anchor María Elena Salinas until her departure in 2017. The Emmy-winning journalist is also host of Univision’s public affairs series "Al Punto." Ramos' exit marks the second major departure for Univision in the last year. León Krauze, who co-anchored "Noticiero Univision Edición Nocturna," left the news organization in November 2023.
Jorge Ramos is leaving Univision after 40 years, effective following the 2024 elections.
Ramos is effectively the Spanish-language Walter Cronkite.
