María had been 6 and 11 pm weekday anchor since 2003. She had previously anchored WSCV-51’s morning show and before that, had spent time at Univision 23. She began her U.S. carreer in the 80’s at Telemundo’s Miami station.
Telemundo says it will conduct a search for her replacement.
Speculation that her co-anchor, Ambrosio Hernández, also left the company was dismissed. According to the spokesperson, he is on vacation this week.
