Telemundo 47 has added Rosarina Bretón and Eliecer Marte to its news reporting team. The hires were announced after the station dropped two other reporters.
A spokesperson confirmed Fernando Gómez and Nadia Torres are no longer with the company.
Marte joins the New York station after spending more than four years as a national correspondent for Univision network.
He previously worked as a correspondent for Mundo Fox and Spanish Broadcasting System. He was also a contributor to CNN’s Showbiz en Español.
His on-air debut is Monday, November 14.
Bretón arrives from NY1 Noticias, where she worked as a breaking news reporter, traffic reporter and weekend anchor for almost a decade.
She starts at the station next week and is scheduled to go on-air on Thursday, November 22.
Both Marte and Bretón are from the Dominican Republic.
juan says
En ese canal de Telemundo Nueva York contratan lo que sea están en una desesperación hasta el punto de meter persona de entretenimiento para hacer noticias qué concepto tan equivocado la televisión No sólo se compone de imagen también carisma y talento una estación convertida en un Batallón para poder medio posicionarse los muñecos de pastel no venden no sé engañen esas son tácticas del muchachito que han puesto de cerebro. El momento en televisión se acaba rápido cuando no va ha sustentado con experiencia les pronostico 6 meses más de rating decentes y luego le sucederá lo que ha pasado en todas las estaciones del país comienzan a caer y a publicar rating y Demos que no sirven ni para vender cacahuates Pero bueno hay que vender imagen de éxito para los incautos que no entienden el negocio de la televisión como en sweeps 2018 good luck
Who cares says
The last sentence says it all “Both Marte and Bretón are from the Dominican Republic” all the people this man has hired since he became news director are Dominican. Althought, the market is probably composed of a big percentage of a Domincan audience, it doesn’t mean all the new hires for management positions, as for on air talent have to be. Let alone fire non Domincans to later blatantly fill their position with Dominicans. He obviously is not afraid of a lawsuit, or simply ignores the fact that there are discrimination laws. I really hope someone puts a stop to this kind of abuse of power not only in New York, but every where.
