Mendoza new anchor at KDTV

Starting tonight, Alejandro Mendoza will co-anchor the 6 and 11 pm newscasts at KDTV-14, the Univision station in San Francisco. María Leticia Gómez has been anchoring both shows solo, since legendary Luis Echegoyen retired, after almost 40 years as the station’s main anchor.

For the past six years, Alejandro has been a Mexico City-based reporter for Univisión Network, whose work has been featured in “Primer Impacto” and “Noticiero Univision.”

“Noticias Univisión 14” is the Bay Area’s only local daily Spanish-language newscast, since Telemundo axed its local newscasts at the end of 2006.

In July’s NSI, “Noticias Univisión 14” was the highest rated 6:00 pm newscast among all Bay Area Adults 18-49, regardless of language.
