Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Meyer Exits Univision

Ignacio "Nacho" Meyer, the charismatic leader of Univision Networks Group at TelevisaUnivision, will be leaving his position this month, according to sources familiar with the situation. Despite stepping down, Meyer will continue to collaborate with the media giant on upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated Latin Grammys set to air on November 12.

Meyer, who has been with Univision for nearly 15 years, took on the role of president in 2022. His responsibilities expanded to include radio and streaming networks just last year. Prior to becoming president of U.S. networks and local media, Meyer was deeply involved in the network's music and special events team. His personal connections to the music industry were so strong that he was known for booking artists for shows and sending personalized thank you notes to artists after every event.

Over the past few years, Meyer has made music one of the primary pillars of the TelevisaUnivision brand, alongside drama and sports. In the coming months, Meyer will oversee the launch of Don Francisco's new interview series, which is set to debut this fall. No changes to leadership structures have been announced yet, as Meyer remains committed to a long-term relationship with TelevisaUnivision.
