Ronald Day Leaves Telemundo After 7 Years

Seven years after taking on the role of President of Programming at Telemundo, Ronald Day has resigned as President of Entertainment and Chief Content Officer. Day made this decision to pursue new opportunities.

Luis Fernández, Chairman of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, expressed “mixed feelings” in announcing Day’s resignation in a memo, stating: “Since Ronald joined the company, he has been instrumental in driving Telemundo’s growth and positioning us as the primetime leader for the first time in our history last year.”

He added, “With more than three decades of experience in Hispanic entertainment, Ronald led the development and production of multiple seasons of our hit reality shows La Casa de los Famosos, Los 50, Exatlón, and Top Chef VIP, as well as our high-rated live specials, including the Billboard Latin Music Awards and Miss Universe. Most recently, he helped me reorganize Telemundo Studios and position them for future growth under the leadership of Javier Pons.”

Day’s last day at Telemundo will be this Thursday, the 13th, and Fernández will work closely with the team, which will report to him in the interim “to ensure a smooth transition.”
