Televisa has informed Univision Communications that talent under contract with the Mexican conglomerate will not be appearing on Univision Communications network,stations or events. This includes the much anticipated Premio lo Nuestro event next week.
The response is due to Televisa’s potential disagreement with the promotion of Ray Rodriguez to the new post of President & COO of Univision Communications.
Univision Communications Inc. announced the promotion of Ray Rodriguez to President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, effective immediately. He will continue reporting to A. Jerrold Perenchio, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. All of Univision’s businesses will now report to Mr. Rodriguez.
