Honors Ray Rodriguez by Dedicating Network Building http://www.hispanictips.com/2009/11/20/univision-communications-inc-honors-ray-rodriguez-by-dedicating-network-building/ http://www.hispanictips.com/2009/11/20/univision-communications-inc-honors-ray-rodriguez-by-dedicating-network-building/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:27:40 +0000 Tomas http://www.hispanictips.com/?p=68132 Univision Communications Inc., the premier Spanish-language media company in the United States, announced today the dedication of the building that is home to network operations in Miami to former president and chief operating officer Ray Rodriguez. In a ceremony which took place today at 2pm in front of the Univision building, Joe Uva, president and CEO of Univision Communications Inc., and Cesar Conde, president of the Univision Networks, presented Rodriguez with a commemorative plaque and named the building the "The Ray Rodriguez Broadcasting Center."

During the ceremony, Uva read a proclamation issued by Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez declaring this day in honor of Rodriguez. The City of Doral Vice Mayor Robert Van Name was also present to read a proclamation issued by Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez in recognition of Rodriguez's lasting legacy. The ceremony was attended by various dignitaries, community and industry leaders, among them Gloria Estefan, as well as many Univision executives and employees.

"The dedication of the building is a fitting way to not only acknowledge but celebrate Ray Rodriguez's nearly 20 years with Univision and the lasting mark he has left on the media industry and in the Miami business community," said Uva.

"I am immensely honored and would like to thank Joe, Cesar and the entire Univision family for this dedication," said Rodriguez. "Univision is a place I have called home for the past 20 years and one full of lasting memories. Thank you all for being part of this amazing and unforgettable journey."

This tribute comes after Rodriguez announced his retirement in August of this year. He joined Univision in 1990, and as a pioneer in Spanish-language media, he was largely responsible for positioning Univision at the forefront of the industry. While with Univision, he provided steady leadership, delivered on the company's unwavering commitment to provide premier
Spanish-language programming to U.S. audiences and played an instrumental role in diversifying the company's portfolio of media assets, including launching TeleFutura in 2002 and the merger with Hispanic Broadcasting. During his tenure, he served as the senior vice president and operating manager of the Univision Network, and subsequently as president of the Univision, TeleFutura and Galavision Networks, and most recently as president and chief operating officer of Univision Communications Inc. Rodriguez leaves a highly regarded legacy, including the #1 and #2 television stations in the nation and the often fourth-ranked network in the country, regardless of language.

Univision Communications Inc. is the premier Spanish-language media company in the United States. Its operations include Univision Network, the most-watched Spanish-language broadcast television network in the U.S. reaching 95% of U.S. Hispanic Households; TeleFutura Network, a general-interest Spanish-language broadcast television network, which was launched in 2002 and now reaches 85% of U.S. Hispanic Households; Galavision, the country's leading Spanish-language cable network; Univision Television Group, which owns and operates 64 television stations in major U.S. Hispanic markets and Puerto Rico; Univision Radio, the leading
Spanish-language radio group which owns and/or operates 68 radio stations in 16 of the top 25 U.S. Hispanic markets and 5 stations in Puerto Rico; and Univision Interactive Media, which includes http://www.univision.com, the premier Spanish-language Internet destination in the U.S., and Univision Movil, the industry's most comprehensive Spanish-language suite of mobile offerings. Univision Communications also has a 50% interest in TuTv, a joint venture formed to broadcast Televisa's pay television channels in the U.S. Univision Communications has television network operations in Miami and television and radio stations and sales offices in major cities throughout the United States.

Daniel DeLeon as Chairman of the National Hispanic Pentecostal Congress. DeLeon succeeds Rev. Nino Gonzalez who this past August was elected as Executive Presbyter for the Assemblies of God Language Districts east of the Mississippi.

"Danny's ministerial trajectory represents a commitment to a Spirit empowered ethos, prayer and evangelism. His leadership will connect Hispanic Pentecostal leaders committed to revival and renewal," declared Dr. Gilbert Velez, NHCLC Board Chair.


DeLeon continues to serve as Senior Pastor of Templo El Calvario (Calvary Temple) in Santa Ana, California. The Church counts with over 14,000 in weekly attendance, arguably the largest Hispanic congregation in America. In addition, DeLeon also served as the host of the Spanish Version of the 700 Club viewed by millions in Latin America.

"The future of American Christianity will be primarily Hispanic in representation led with a strong Pentecostal emphasis. Danny embodies the convergence of both the cultural and theological streams quickly emerging as the platform for the 21st century American faith narrative," explained Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, Conference President.

The National Hispanic Pentecostal Congress will convene in April 2010 as part of the Empower 21 Global Conference at Oral Roberts University and again in October.

The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference serves 25,434 churches by providing leadership, networking, partnerships, fellowship and advocacy platforms to the Seven Directives of Life, Family, Great Commission, Stewardship, Education, Youth and Justice.
