Univision Radio President José Valle was named Executive of the Year by Radio Ink magazine.
Valle, responsible for 70 radio stations in 16 of the top U.S. Hispanic markets and five stations in Puerto Rico, will be featured as the cover interview in the January 7 issue of Radio Ink.
About being named Executive of the Year, Valle told Radio Ink:
“This is radio. This is fun stuff. Being able to enjoy what we do, having a connection to our folks that put up banners – because I’ve been there, working with the traffic department. I’ve been there, and I understand the dilemma of salespeople bringing in orders past the deadline. All those kinds of things, I think, play into it, but at the end of the day, I think it’s about transparency and being authentic….I am just a simple radio guy.”
Before joining Univision Radio in Feb. 2011, Valle was President and GM of Telemundo’s KVEA-52, also overseeing operations for Spanish-language independent station KWHY in Los Angeles from 2008 to 2010.
