Adriana Ruggiero exits Estrella TV

Network anchor Adriana Ruggiero and Estrella TV are parting ways. Today will be her last day on the air, after almost 4 years with the company.

Adriana first joined Estrella TV in 2012 as a reporter for “Noticias 62” in Los Angeles and started co-anchoring the station’s 5 and 11 pm newscasts a year later.

In 2015, Adriana took over as anchor of national newscast “Noticiero Estrella TV” at 5:30 pm ET after Myrka Dellanos’ departure. She stepped in as primetime network anchor at 10:30 pm during Enrique Gratas’ illness and after his death in October of last year.

Adriana also hosted Sunday public affairs program “En La Lucha,” after the network parted ways with Hernán Molina, its original host.

Earlier this year, Estrella TV hired Mexican personality Pedro Ferriz Híjar to take over its 10:30 pm national newscast “Cierre de Edición” and “En La Lucha,” pushing Adriana out of both shows.

Adriana was reassigned to the 5:30 pm network newscast.

In a written statement, Adriana, said she is exploring new opportunities in the industry. “I am just very excited for all the new opportunities I know are coming.”

Before moving to Los Angeles, Adriana, an attorney in her native Venezuela, worked as a local news anchor at Televisora de Oriente and as Director of Communications of an international law firm.
