As TelevisaUnivision CEO Daniel Alegre announced last week, the Spanish-language media giant is laying off several hundred workers in its restriction, and some on-air talent are exiting the network.
Maity Interiano, news anchor of Univision Noticias’ Noticiero Univision: Edición Nocturna, shared a video on social media announcing her exit after 17 years at the network.
“After 17 years at Univision, today, this chapter of my life ends,” Interiano says in her Instagram video. “What started as an internship turned into a job, and it’s been my only job until now.”
Interiano reported for some Univision shows, such as La Tijera, Tómbola, Despierta América, and La Voz de la Mañana on Vix.

“Throughout all of these years, I’ve been able to grow, learn, better myself, and create a connection with you [viewers],” she added. “I’m profoundly grateful for all of this time and everything that I’ve accomplished and for all the love throughout all the phases in my life, and I know this won’t be the exception. Later on, I will reveal my future plans, but for now, I can only say, Thank you.”
Earlier in the day, Despierta América’s Chef Yisus Díaz was also informed that Tuesday, December 3, was his last day on the show. According to a report from Las Top News, Díaz was allowed to say goodbye to viewers but opted not to and proceeded to do the show as on any normal day.
The publication also reported that Eduardo Padilla and Carolina Peguero of Noticias Univision 24/7, along with Primer Impacto correspondent Roger Borges, were also cut.
Deadline has reached out to TelevisaUnivision for comment.
TelevisaUnivision CEO Daniel Alegre had warned employees at the media company that he was “implementing significant and necessary changes” that were “aimed at strengthening” the company’s position for 2025
“I am announcing a new organizational structure, which will have important implications for many of our colleagues,” read the memo from Alegre to employees.
Alegre noted that the “workforce changes” would “take place across the company,” adding, “I understand that this will be a challenging week, but I ask for your focus and resilience as we take these important steps toward a stronger and more connected future. Together, we are building a company positioned for sustained growth, innovation, and leadership.”
