Univision today announced it is ending its affiliate agreement with Entravision and will take back operations of its stations in Orlando, Tampa and Washington D.C., adding them to its local media division.

Univision says it will appoint a president and general manager for Washington D.C. and make additional announcements about news, content and programming details for each stations in the coming months.

Univision owns 61 TV stations in 26 markets, 36 carry Univision, 20 UniMas, and 4 carry affiliate True Crime network.

    Finally! I grew up watching Univision and Univision Washington. I never liked the style entravision had. I had 2 opportunity to be interviewed by reporters from Univision Washington. Every time I would ask my self why don’t they have a camera guy (operator), they left the work to be handle by the reporter. Than I noticed that’s why they really don’t do live shots very often. Who was going to do PAN AND ZOOM AND FOCUS back to the reporter. If they did it was a one spot.

    I hope they keep the same staff and anchors. It would be nice if they brought back some older staff like Mario Sol, Norma Montenegro, Oscar Burgos and Maria Rosa Luiquini. And of course Claudia Uceda but she at the National level.

    Another thing I can’t wait to see is the set and studio remodeling of Noticiero Univisión Washington. Telemundo 44 got some competition coming 2022!
