Jorge Ramos to Leave Univision After 40 Years at the Network
TelevisaUnivision announced on Monday that Mr. Ramos and the network had mutually agreed not to renew his contract.
Jorge Ramos, who is among the most recognized journalists in Spanish-language television and is known for questioning leaders around the world, including Fidel Castro and former President Donald J. Trump, will leave Univision at the end of 2024 after 40 years at the network.
Mr. Ramos and Univision mutually agreed not to renew his contract, which is set to expire soon, TelevisaUnivision, which operates Univision, said in a statement on Monday. Mr. Ramos, 66, will stay with Univision through the U.S. presidential election in November, the network said.
By the end of 2024, Mr. Ramos will step down as a co-anchor on “Noticiero Univision,” the network’s flagship evening news program, which Mr. Ramos has anchored for 38 years.
Mr. Ramos addressed his upcoming departure at the end of “Noticiero Univision” on Monday night.
“This decision has been difficult, sad and took a long time,” he said. “I’m profoundly thankful for these four decades. Univision has literally been my second home. I’m very proud to be a part of this great team of journalists.”
It is unclear what Mr. Ramos will do after leaving Univision. He said on Monday that he would announce his professional plans soon.
“There is much to do in journalism, and that truly fills me with enthusiasm,” he said. “This is not an immediate goodbye. We’ll be back here tomorrow with the news.”
