Sánchez leaves Telemundo Denver for university professor job

March 20, 2018 by Veronica Villafañe

 

Alfredo Sanchez

Alfredo Sánchez is no longer News Director at KDEN Telemundo Denver. He has left the station to enter the world of academia.

“After almost 20 years at Telemundo, the time has come for me to reach a long-waited goal to teach,” he tells Media Moves. “Starting this Fall semester I will join Metropolitan State University in Denver as a Tenure Track Professor.”

Sánchez joined KDEN in May 2017. He was previously Assistant News Director at KXTX Telemundo 39 in Dallas. Before that, he worked in several roles at Telemundo Houston and the now defunct Telemundo Production Center in Dallas.

During his time in Texas, Sánchez also spent almost four years as an adjunct journalism professor at Houston Community College.

“I am looking forward to this new phase in my profesional career,” he says. “I will miss my Telemundo family but I am looking forward to spend more time with my family.”

    Is really frustrating to see a company camouflage the reality of his departure. Ever since he was here in dallas his management skilles damages the work environment and people’s moral, what made them think he will change by switching stations ? So sad that in 20 years he didn’t develop the skills to be a good manager.

    Todos sabemos la realidad de esta industria. O le caes mal a todos, o le caes mal o todos. Algo que si puedo confirmar es la pobre gerencia y el mal liderazgo que telemundo a permitido en estos últimos años de crecimiento. Lástima que el Sñr M. Martínez no a echo nada para arreglar este problema. El potencial que tíene esta empresa no a brillado completamente por permitir a personas como Sánchez de gerente, al igual que otros que se sienten intocables o un tipo Dios en esta industria. Y ni hablar de todos los que son contratados simplemente para ser un par de ojos y orejas extra. Ojo!

      Nada, en sus 20 años de carrera solo aprendió a ofender a las mujeres, trabajar por ser jefe y no líder, a ver quien lo sigue en la pista.

    Veo con tristeza que alguien quiera aprovechar el anonimato de este foro para utilizar el nombre real de un colega. A quien pueda interesar, quiero aclarar que no soy el autor del comentario que se ve arriba. Es evidente la intención de quien lo escribió.
    Alfredo ha sido mi compañero por muchos años, hemos compartido muchas cosas dentro y fuera de la sala de redacción. No estuvimos de acuerdo todas las veces, pero siempre hubo y habrá respeto.
