Chris Peña is no longer with Univision.

Peña, who joined the company in 2016 as SVP of News of the local media division, announced on social media his last day was Friday, September 8.

He had been in charge of overseeing local news operations and strategy for the station group.

In his Instagram post, Peña lauded his team, crediting the “amazing photographers, producers, writers, meteorologists, anchors, reporters and production crews” and station news directors for allowing him to enjoy his job and make him feel “part of the family.”

Peña did not respond to a Media Moves query about his post-Univision plans at the time of this publication.

His departure comes a week after TelevisaUnivision rehired Daniel Coronell as president of Univision News.
