Luis Jiménez Signs With Univision Radio.
December 2, 2006
According to Radio & Records, a source who wishes to remain anonymous told R&R that Luis Jimenéz, host of New York’s No. 1 morning show, “El Vacilón de la Mañana,” on SBS’s WSKQ, has signed with Univision Radio. Jiménez’s contract with SBS is over at the end of 2006.
No word on whether Jiménez’s sidekick Moonshadow will join him in his new venture, but the other show members — Tony “El Tiburón” Sánchez, Noel “Boca Chula” Hernández, Francis Méndez, Aneudis “DJ Chucky” Rosado, Leo “Papi Chulo” Amador, Jerpis “El Chino” Correa and Deibi “Shorty” Pérez — have reportedly signed to continue on at SBS.
Jiménez is said to feel “betrayed” that his morning show team signed with SBS, but is also “pumped and excited” about his new show and a new beginning.
R&R has also learned that Jiménez’s new show on Univision will air in several markets upon its debut, but will not air in New York until 2008.
