Jorge Vélez is wrapping his final week with Telemundo Charlotte. His last day on-air is Monday, January 20.
Vélez joined the station in 2021 as a multimedia journalist, reporting for the 5, 6, and 11 p.m. weekday broadcasts.
In a message shared on social media, he reflected on his time with the station, calling it his “home” and “school,” where he learned, grew, and honed his craft.
Expressing deep gratitude, he thanked the Charlotte community for their trust, support, and connection:
“Thank you for adopting me as a member of your families every afternoon and every night.”
He also extended his appreciation to his colleagues, producers, and WSOC-TV directors for believing in him from the start.
As for what’s next, he shared that his future plans are still taking shape, but he hopes to return to a TV screen soon to continue pursuing his passion for storytelling.
Before his time in Charlotte, Vélez worked as a freelance journalist in his native Puerto Rico.
