Univision Communications Inc. will join the international commemoration of Women’s Day on March 8, 2019 by celebrating the extraordinary contributions of women in front and behind the camera.
Under the theme Juntas Somos Súper Mujeres (Together, We Are Superwomen), special programming will recognize women at the company who build stronger communities, deliver award-winning news and content, and help each other reach their personal and professional goals.
Throughout its history, women have reached many milestones in media in the U.S. Teresa Rodríguez, co-anchor of Aquí y Ahora, broke barriers by becoming the first woman in history to anchor a national primetime newscast in Spanish.
María Antonieta Collins, co-host of Crónicas de Sábado, started her career as one of the firsts female Major League Baseball correspondents. Ilia Calderón, co-anchor of Univision Noticias, was the first Afro-Latina anchor of a nationwide Spanish-language newscast, and Iris Cisneros, Univision Deportes sportscaster, was the first woman to call a soccer match in Spanish on U.S. television.
“At Univision, women play an important role at every level year-round—from our studios to our editing bays, newsrooms and DJ booths, and management, our súper mujeres are key drivers in our company’s continued growth and leadership position. During International Women’s Day, we are proud to celebrate their achievements and through this tribute, recognize the positive impact that Latinas have on the communities we serve,” said Vince Sadusky, CEO of Univision Communications Inc.
As part of the Together, We Are Superwomen tribute, for the first time on Spanish-language television in the U.S., Univision Deportes will broadcast a soccer match produced and called exclusively by women. The game between Veracruz and Santos Laguna will air on Friday, March 8 at 7:30pm ET on Univision Deportes Network.
