🎉 Congratulations to Jose Cancela, President of Telemundo Station Group, on receiving the Leadership Award in Hispanic Television at the 23rd Annual Hispanic Television Summit! José has played a key role in advancing Spanish-language media and amplifying voices across our communities during his decades of leadership. His commitment to operational excellence and growth continues to shape the future of Hispanic television. During his remarks, Jose reflected on the importance of aligning with our communities: "What makes us different in Spanish-language television is that we care about our communities, in a way that’s different from our brotherly broadcasters.” Now in its 23rd year, the Hispanic Television Summit remains the longest-running, event dedicated to professionals in Hispanic television. This year’s program featured conversations on advertising, content development, and distribution. Kudos to Joseph Schramm and the Schramm Marketing Group for continuing the legacy of this impactful event! #HispanicTVSummit #LeadershipAward #JoséCancela #Telemundo #HispanicMedia #NBCUniversalLocal
