Univision will no longer have weekend newscasts in Puerto Rico. A spokesperson for the company confirmed the four editions of Noticias Univision Fin de Semana in Puerto Rico have been canceled.
Staffers were notified of the cancellations at the end of Sunday’s 5 pm newscast.
Although the company would not address how many people were laid off, a source says close to 20 people lost their jobs.
The cancellations are being attributed to a bad economy in the island that isn’t able to sustain the 5 and 11 pm weekend newscasts.
