Yesterday we told you that the emblematic journalist of Univision News, Alina Mayo Azze, who spent 30 years at the helm of the local Miami newscast, was fired.
Yes, the same day the new executives and positions were introduced Univision, began a wave of layoffs, especially in local stations, both television and radio.
Through her Instagram account, Mayo Azze herself confirmed the news by writing these moving and at the same time inspiring words:
“The day has come… Today this long chapter in my life as a television journalist closes. Thank you all for your support, trust, and love during my nearly 40 years of TV reporting in Spanish in South Florida. Of those years, 30 have been as presenter of the news of channel 23. This journey has been a privilege in which I learned a lot from my community and from those who form it. Here I will share my new projects.
For the moment I am going to dedicate myself to rest and charge batteries after such a difficult 2020. I am calm and happy! I ask from my heart that you continue to support the local press, especially my colleagues on television who bring you the news every day. At a time when the press is under siege by so many, the local television newscasts work very hard day by day and they do it for you, and for the well-being of your families. I don’t like goodbyes … from me, this is just a see you later … Peace, health and love to all ❤️ Alina ❤️ “, he concluded.
Alina Mayo Azze, who graduated from the University of Miami, began her career as a reporter on Univision Miami’s Channel 23 in 1981. She then joined Telemundo Miami as a presenter in 1988, and returned to Univision in 1991 to lead Noticias 23 until yesterday.
During his career, he has interviewed world leaders such as President Barack Obama, and has covered stories such as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the death of the Princess Diana. He has received six EMMY Awards, four ACRIN Awards, and two ACCA Awards.
Univision enters the streaming race with PrendeTV, a free, ad-supported Spanish platform
Created “exclusively for the U.S. Hispanic audience,” PrendeTV is Univision’s entry into the streaming wars, offering a collection of free Spanish programming.
PrendeTV, which gets its name for the Spanish phrase for “switch on,” will launch this quarter, according to Univision. The service will have “an unprecedented collection of high-quality, curated Spanish-language series [and] movies,” as well as some other entertainment. PrendeTV will also offer 30 live channels and more than 10,000 hours of on-demand content at launch, according to the company, with the goal to expand that offering once launched. It will be available on desktop and mobile, as well as a free app on connected TVs.
Univision’s biggest competitor in the Spanish marketplace for US customers, Telemundo, does not have its own streaming service. Owned by NBCUniversal, Telemundo instead has a hub and several “channels” on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s own ad-supported streaming platform. Univision CEO Wade Davis, who previously worked on ad-supported streaming strategy at ViacomCBS, told Deadline in 2020 that “it’s remarkable” there’s not really a “high-quality, differentiated OTT service for this audience that is at scale.”
“It’s a huge opportunity that is completely open from a competitive standpoint,” he said.
Although Univision is entering an already crowded market, with services like Disney Plus, HBO Max, Peacock, Apple TV Plus, and more launching all within the last 14 months, Univision is banking on PrendeTV being “the only premium, free ad-supported streaming service designed and curated exclusively for U.S. Hispanics.” The fact that it’s free, something that ViacomCBS is also reportedly seeing success with on its own ad-supported platform, Pluto TV, should also help.
Exact launch dates, new exclusive series, and what platforms it will be available on will be announced closer to launch.
Univision confirms the new president and executives of the chain | The State
Today, Monday, January 11, Univision made official the information that we anticipated last October: the name of its new president, and new executive positions were created and new managers were hired.
As we anticipate, Luis Silberwasser, was designated as president of the group of television networks Univision to run Univision’s national television properties.
Silberwasser’s position was not the only one announced this afternoon. The new owners, who, as we told you, completed the transfer and took control the last week of December, created new executive positions, and assigned them to people of great weight within the industry, who, for the most part, come from outside the chain.
Gaby Espino, Litzy, Luis Silberwasser and Carmen Villalobos.
Who and what will they do?.. With Wade davis At the head, as the CEO of the group, the following positions were assigned that we describe below:
–Pierluigi gazzolo, appointed to the newly created position of President of Univision Communications Inc. and Chief Transformation Officer to drive the next era of growth. –Luis Silberwasser, president of the Univision group of television networks to run Univision’s national television properties. –Donna speciale, named president of advertising sales and marketing, to drive the innovative expansion of Univision’s offering to advertisers. –Friday abernethy, promoted to Executive Vice President of Content Distribution and Partnerships. –Adam Shippee, promoted to the newly created role of Executive Vice President, Corporate Development, Strategy and transformation. –Amy tenbrink, ascends to Executive Vice President and Associate General Counsel, Revenue / Business Development with responsibilities across the digital business.
What will happen to the current executives?… So far they have been reconfirmed in their positions, but they will have to report for what will be their new boss: Luis Silberwasser.
That is to say, Daniel Coronell will remain president of News; David rabinowitz, executive vice president of broadcast technology and operations; Jessica Rodriguez, president of entertainment and CMO; and Juan Carlos Rodriguez, president of sports, reporting directly to Silberwasser.
Although the leader, after Davis, will be Gazzolo, in practice, who will be the head and the executor of what you will see, of the stars that will accompany you every day, of fiction, sports and the news, it will be Luis Silberwasser, something that we anticipated in October, and that later came out to deny it, but that finally time gave us the reason that we had the correct information.
¿Who is Luis Silberwasser, president of the Univision television group?
He was president of Telemundo for 4 years, in which he was in charge of not only creating content, but also the first World cup accessed by that string. One of the most critical moments in his administration was the unionization of the soap opera actors with SAG-AFTRA. Well, at that moment, a message came to light inviting the actors to vote for the “no” entry of the union.
He is 56 years old, was born in New York, but at the age of 5 he moved, along with his parents, to Cali, Colombia, where he grew up until he decided to return to the United States to study. He first graduated with a Bachelor of Industrial Engineering from the University of Georgia, followed by a graduate degree in business from Harvard.
He went through some audiovisual companies like Discovery. He came to Telemundo in 2014 as president of the Network, where he was in charge of the network, and specialized in entertainment content strategy, since that area would not only be his specialty, but also his passion, along with sports.
Will these new appointments generate changes in what you see on a daily basis in your programming? Although we cannot confirm it officially, there would be changes and many. The digital part and entertainment would be given greater strength.
Will all executives be reconfirmed in their positions? Quite possibly several of them will finish their tasks when their contracts expire.

The best and worst soap operas of 2020 from Univision and Telemundo | The State
During the pandemic, television became our best companion for viewing the outside world while maintaining social distance.
Univision and Telemundo They did not stop broadcasting their programming and telenovelas continued to be the big bets of both channels. Here we present you the best and worst of the year in this area.
The Doña 2
The year began in a sensual way with the return of Aracely Arambula in “The Doña 2“. Altagracia’s story continued but not all of the characters from the first season continued. What made this series special were those clashes between mother and daughter, and as we now know, the daughter did not last long within the sequel. The magic and charm of the first series was lost and the sequel should not have existed, to our liking and became one of the worst of the year.

Ruby
Camila sodi She has always been a very controversial actress for being someone who does not like to deal with the press a lot. To the niece of Thalia she likes to do her job but not promote it because she knows that they will undoubtedly ask her personal questions about herself or her family, which she does not like to answer.
Rubí’s character is iconic and her hiring was always controversial. However, Rubí was tailor-made for Camila and did an excellent job. Although it did not surpass its predecessor Barbara Mori, he did make a good version of the character. With a short and agile story, Rubí was one of the best soap operas of the year.

Operation Pacific
Majida Issa left behind her character of La Diabla from “Without breasts, there is paradise”And was completely transformed. From being the antagonist, in “Operation Pacific”Became the protagonist. The story again revolves around the world of drug trafficking, but this time we see it from the perspective of the police. What made this series interesting was the mix of classic melodrama with narco soap operas. Very few authors can manage to make a round story but those who were behind this series dominated the subject making it one of the best of the year.

100 days to fall in love
After the success of “Betty in NY“, Telemundo continued along the same line of comedy for its soap operas made from its studios in Florida. “100 days to fall in love“It was about two couples who give each other a space to fall in love again. What made this romantic comedy a hit was the quirky cast of quirky actors that refreshed the screen.
Erick elias, Ilse Salas, Mariana treviño and David chocarro starred in the series that left us wanting to see more. One of the issues that stood out the most was that of gender identity, something little explored in soap operas and that Telemundo had the courage to present.

I give you life
In a year full of uncertainty, what we most needed was hope, and “I give you life“On Univision, he arrived just in time. The Mexican soap opera falls back on what is the classic melodrama, with nothing more than a beautiful love story. Jose Ron It came from a series of hits on Univision with “Rubí” and “Ringo” and this production was no exception.
“Te Doy La Vida” reached incredible ratings during a time when soap operas had had low ratings. The public recognizes good projects and this telenovela was one of the best this year.

Overcome fear
The empowerment of women is something that must be promoted every day to end the misogyny that still prevails. “Overcome fear”Was the perfect soap opera whose central focus is four women at different stages of life. Each one has a fear that they will have to overcome and the public becomes a witness to how each one manages to overcome their obstacles.

Cennet
After the great success that was “Eternal love”For Univision, Telemundo did not want to be left behind and began to schedule Turkish soap operas again in their primetime schedule. For the Hispanic public came the story of “Cennet“, Which little by little was getting the preference of the viewers despite having an unknown cast. The story was so compelling that it made it one of the best of the year 2020.

Doctors
The heroes of the pandemic have been the doctors, who put their lives at risk in order to heal the people. Univision premiere “Doctors“, starring Livia brito and Daniel Arenas, but that unfortunately did not meet the ideal expectations. Despite having a good intention, the story became tedious, boring and too long. They wanted to repeat the formula of “For Amar Sin Ley”With different cases week by week, but the same success could not be achieved. Although there is talk of a second season, it would be convenient not to visit this hospital again.

How You There Are 2
One of the big surprises this year was seeing Adrian Uribe star in the soap opera “How You There Are 2“. The comedian is known for his character as El Vitor in comic shows, but his side as a heartthrob had been little explored. There were not many expectations for this series as it is based on the Chilean television series “Amores de Mercado” that Telemundo had already covered twice.
The last version that Telemundo made was called “Who is Who?” and starred Danna Paola with Eugenio Siller. This adaptation was not successful in primetime, which was sent for the evening schedule.
However, “How You No Hay 2” was able to win over Univision’s audience and little by little it increased its audience and ended up being one of the most viewed of the year.

Fernanda Castillo and Raul Mendez they returned with the sequel to “Intimate Enemy“. The series about two brothers in dispute returned to the Telemundo screens and despite having a great production and great performances, it did not have a sufficiently compelling story. It was better that he had stayed in an excellent season and closed the characters well without leaving stories open at the end.

Sweet ambition
Univision premiered the most delicious telenovela of the whole year, “Sweet ambition“. The Brazilian production, which was a great success in its native country, reached the Latin public in the United States and captured the attention. At the center of this melodrama is María de la Paz (Juliana Paes), a fighter, hard-working and inspiring woman who manages to create an empire by making desserts. Although at first glance it has a very simple and classic central story, the secondary characters are complex and entertaining.

Empire of Lies
Each project of Angelique boyer always gives something to talk about and “Empire of Lies”Was no exception. Boyer is currently the most recognized Televisa actress and her telenovelas are always successful.
But despite the fact that there were all the elements to make it a success, with Boyer starring in a Latin version of a Turkish soap opera, things have not happened that way. The story is kilometers long, everything happens very slowly and there is no agility to keep the viewer hooked. That is why we had to put this Mexican production on our list of the worst of the year.

Fake identity
If you can’t reunite the main cast again, you shouldn’t make sequels to hit series. As happened with “La Doña 2”, in “False Identity 2“, the protagonist Camila sodi could not continue with the project. Although it did appear in the opening chapters, they were few.
Sweet Maria She joined the project to give it a boost, but became pregnant and was unable to continue her character and exited production. Despite having good elements, so much change to the original idea makes one no longer want to see it.
