Olivares returns to U.S. Spanish-language news at Estrella TV

January 21, 2020 by Veronica Villafañe

Javier Olivares is back in U.S. Spanish-language news.

Estrella TV has hired the former Univision personality to join its news anchor team, based in Dallas.

He’ll be anchoring newscasts for three stations: Dallas’ KMPX-29, Houston’s KZJL-61 and Miami’s WGEN-8, alongside Rosy Martel.

A native of Chile, Olivares worked at Univision from 2016 to 2018. He was brought as news anchor for the launch of the network’s first midday digital newscast, but his contract was not renewed.

Most recently, he has been an international correspondent for Al Jazeera News and Canal 13 in Chile.

    And his shameful fiasco and bag of lies while in Telemundo Dallas…no mention to it?
    So much for the so called Sol.
    Mas apagado que vela en duelo.

      Hi was an excelent coworker here in TELEMUNDO 51. His success and talent is even envy of poor VP of news.

      The only “fiasco” are comments like these. Sad.
      Olivares is a perfect young for news.
      We will meet soon.

        Hold the cheers wagon, Excellent is a very powerful word, so please don’t use it so recklessly.
        Envy at Telemundo 51 ? by Sra. Silva ? ay parfavar! Le queda XL big.
        What happened ? happens that arrogance, mediocrity; would only take you to the dumps.
        And btw, “comments like these”, are only the logical inheritance after such parades by both Univision Network and Telemundo Dallas.
        And of course, his so called “Middle East Debacle”.
        This is a very tiny industry, way too small.
        Your thread should always be spotless.

    Fresco, directo y republicano. Ya era hora un periodista que dejara de “lamer las botas” de los demócratas. He mirado su profesión aquí y siempre es centrado a la hora de opinar o dar una noticia política. Por eso no cabia en univision donde todos son mentirosos y demócratas empezando por “Jorge mentiras ramos”, lo peor del ejercicio del periodismo x. Le aseguro a este joven buen futuro en la podrida Tv que hoy tenemos que ver. Me gusta verlo en la mañana del canal8
    Felicidades de un viejo admirador
