Univision today announced a series of leadership changes in its radio division and local media structure, effect immediately.

José Valle, President of Univision Radio since 2011, leaves that role to become President of Political & Advocacy Sales.

Jaime Jiménez, currently EVP, Univision Local Media, keeps that title and will assume responsibilities for Univision Radio content and Univision Radio’s operating hubs in Los Angeles, Miami and San Antonio. He was previously responsible for half of Univision’s local TV and radio stations.

Both executives will remain based in Los Angeles. Valle will report to Keith Turner, President, Advertising Sales & Marketing for UCI and Jiménez will report to Kevin Cuddihy, President, Univision Local Media.

As part of the changes, Univision Radio’s AM stations will be integrated locally effective immediately.

In an email to staff, Cuddihy announced changes to the Local Media structure that will put “an emphasis on resources, responsibility and authority at the local station level and focuses corporate resources to providing strategic direction, process improvement and standardization, and general support.”
