Ronald Day, VP of programming and promotions for the Univision Network, is no longer with the company. A Univision spokesperson has confirmed he has resigned, but insiders tell me his departure was not amicable. I’m told he was unceremoniously fired yesterday.
Ronald had been with Univision for 20 years. He started as a producer for “Cristina” and worked his way up the ranks. He moved over to Telefutura as VP of Programming and Promotions for Telefutura when the network launched in 2002.
In March of 2010, he was appointed VP of programming and promotions for the Univision Network, replacing Otto Padrón.
The twitter sphere is buzzing with the news of his departure from Univision – and with very unkind words. He is attributed to being responsible for the dismissal of several on-air personalities, including Cristina Saralegui and Ana María Canseco.
a todos les llega el dia….
Do unto others as you would have them done unto you! El que la hace, la paga! You got what you deserve! What goes around, comes back around! Paypack! Karma!
He will be missed at Univision, his insights and enthusiastic leadearship cannot be obscured by the unpopular decisions somebody in his position must enforce. It amazes me how people so quickly forget the good and are even quicker to point out the negative. He was an asset for Univision, and he will be definitely missed by many.
He was an idiot – rude, obnoxious and had no clue what he was talking about. I hear he was fired, so funny how people try to cover up their bad doings. Karma is a bitch and mr day is learning it the hard way… enjoy your life long vacation because I’m sure we won’t be seeing you in production anytime soon…
