“This is not a farewell. I will continue anchoring Noticiero Univision until December, and afterwards I will share my professional plans. I am deeply grateful for these four decades at Univision and very proud to be part of a team that has established strong leadership over the years,” Ramos said in a statement.

Sources tell Deadline that both parties couldn’t come to terms monetarily, and it was ultimately decided to part ways mutually.

Univision News President Daniel Coronell said: “I want to express my respect and gratitude for Jorge Ramos and all he has done for Univision and the growing community we serve each and every day. As we look to 2025 and beyond, our talented team is well equipped to continue the tradition of journalistic excellence that has defined Noticiero Univision since the beginning.”

Ramos has been the face of Noticiero Univision for 38 years. The journalist also hosts the public affairs program Al Punto, and interview show Algo Personal for Vix, Univision’s streaming platform.

Over the years, Ramos has been on the front lines of reporting and informing Spanish-speaking audiences about politics. In 2015, he went viral when he attended a news conference held by Donald Trump to question him about his dangerous rhetoric against Latinos.

In 2023, Ramos blasted Univision for airing a softball Trump interview conducted by TelevisaUnivision’s Enrique Acevedo.

“We cannot normalize behavior that threatens democracy and the Hispanic community, or offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories. We must question and fact-check everything he says and does,” Ramos wrote in his weekly column last year. “That’s why it is very dangerous to fail to confront Trump. And that’s why it is our moral obligation to confront him every time there’s a journalistic opportunity to do it. But I understand that not everyone agrees, and I open the debate here.”

News of Jorge Ramos departing Univision was first reported by Las Top News.
