Ambrosio hernandez biography

Longtime WSCV Telemundo 51 anchor Ambrosio Hernández, who resigned from the Miami station on Friday, is now officially an employee of competitor WLTV Univision 23.

In  a press release sent moments ago, Univision announced his appointment as chief anchor in an expanded role that includes Local TV, Radio and Digital.

Due to a non-compete clause in his contract, the eight-time Emmy and Silver Circle award winner, who had been on vacation and off the air since March 2, will be seen again on channel 23 in the fall.

Telemundo 51 was unable to reach an agreement to renew his contract, which expired March 1.

According to inside sources, Ambrosio was making $500,000 a year and Univision 23 outbid Telemundo 51 in an effort to have him switch networks.

Ambrosio was channel 51’s first anchor when the station launched a newscast in 1986, prior to becoming a Telemundo station a year later.

His new job marks a return to Univision,
