Calderón to leave Denver to lead Telemundo’s San Diego newsroom

February 21, 2017 by Veronica Villafañe

Pedro CalderonTelemundo Denver News Director Pedro Calderón is leaving KDEN to lead the company’s news operations in San Diego, expected to launch around June.

A company spokesperson refused to comment on the move or give details about the San Diego station launch, but inside sources confirm Calderón’s next assignment is the Telemundo O&O that will be housed at KNSD, where he’ll report to NBC 7’s VP of News Greg Dawson.

Telemundo has already listed a job posting for news director in Denver.

Calderón has been news director at KDEN since November of 2013.

This would mark a return to San Diego for Calderón, who worked as an anchor/producer of the Entravision-owned Univision station in the city from 2011 to 2013.

Entravision also owned the Telemundo affiliate in San Diego for over 20 years. Telemundo opted to not renew the affiliate deal with Entravision to launch its own news operations in San Diego.

      Este energumeno ha hecho enemigos por su forma de tratar a la gente donde quiera que va; y claro, como buen dictador es un lamebotas con los de arriba. Pero aún así, es despedido de todos lados! Es un pseudoperiodista creado en la escuela Telerisa de México.

    Por individuos como éste es que nos damos cuenta que el mundo de la televisión cada día está peor no solamente con un historial terrible de represalias contra empleados sino también por destruir carreras de un gran número de excelentes profesionales desde Sacramento hasta Colorado dónde provocó la partida de muchos con sus actitudes y su prepotencia y altanería experto en crearte falsos casos y acusarte con recursos humanos para limpiarse las manos trayendo a todos sus amigos y sus aliados de otras estaciones para desbaratar las estructura de trabajo y con sus mentiras experto en contratar jovencitos sin experiencia que luego salen huyendo de las estaciones o trayendo profesionales de otros países para que no les queda otra alternativa que aguantar sus falta de profesionalismo veremos qué sucede en San Diego Lo siento por lo que tendrán que seguir aguantando a este tipo cero profesional finalmente Denver podrán descansar.. esa pobre Estación no queda casi nadie de los que estaban cuando él llego….

    Yo trabaje con Pedro en Telemundo Denver for varios años y puedo decir que el es un gran jefe y periodista. Su profesionalismo y pasion por hacer buenas noticias es lo que nos llevo a crecer como periodistas individuales y comó estación. Para muchos, fue mucho mas que un jefe, si no un maestro quien se dedico ayudar a crecer y cultivar varios noticieros y a muchos de nosotros quien ahora hemos podido crecer y avanazar a otros mercados. Yo en lo personal, admiro mucho a Pedro por poder convertir cualquier historia o cualquier situación a una enseñanza para el equipo.
    En Telemundo Denver, lo queriamos y lo queremos tanto que se le dedico este video de despedida:
