Del Rincón out at CNN en Español

September 18, 2014 by Veronica Villafañe

Fernando del RinconFernando del Rincón has ended his run with CNN en Español. The anchor, who joined the Atlanta-based network in October of 2010, was unable to renegotiate his contract.

According to a source, Del Rincón, host of the Spanish-language network’s 10 pm “Conclusiones,” stormed out of the newsroom yesterday before his show went on the air, despite promoting it on his Twitter account.

Just hours ago – shortly after 6 pm ET, Cynthia Hudson sent the following email to staff announcing his departure:

“I felt it was important to share that CNN en Español and Fernando del Rincón were unable to reach an agreement on a new contract.

This means that he will be leaving the network. We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.”

Fernando’s tweet earlier yesterday, promoting an interview with María Conchita Alonso on his show:

Esta noche @MariaConchita_A me acompaña en #Conclusiones para hablar del proceso para revocarle la nacionalidad. #RT pic.twitter.com/oqgyltfaau

    Good riddance. This guy is no good. Can barely understand him when he talks. Plus he’s the guy that beat up Carmen Dominicci. Not sure why CNN hired him in the first place.

      I think that you have no idea of how important was this man for VENEZUELA. And if couldn’t understand how he speaks it’s obviously because you don’t speak Spanish. So …
