Telemundo Media has named Ruben Keoseyan vice president of content for KVEA in Los Angeles.

Keoseyan has been executive editor of La Opinión, the largest Spanish-language newspaper in the U.S., since 2011. In his new role, he will oversee all KVEA’s newscasts.

“Ruben is a recognized leader with solid journalistic integrity, extensive experience in the Los Angeles market and expertise in Spanish-language media overall,” Celia Chavez, the president and general manager of the station, said in a statement. “His leadership and insights will play a significant role in contributing to the ongoing success of KVEA’s news department.”

The three-year relationship between KTLA reporter Lu Parker and Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is over.

A spokesperson for Parker confirmed the split with the Los Angeles Times on Monday.

Parker, who has been with KTLA since 2005, began dating Villaraigosa in 2009, two years after the mayor was involved in an extramarital affair with a reporter for KVEA, the Los Angeles Telemundo station (he since divorced his wife).

A former Miss USA, Parker was working as an anchor and general assignment reporter for KTLA, often covering local politics, when she began dating Villaraigosa.

After the start of their relationship, KTLA moved Parker off of the anchor desk, and eventually redefined her role with the station as special correspondent. Read more

NBC Universal announced plans to relocate its Los Angeles news operations, including KNBC and KVEA, to a new state-of-the-art facility on the Universal lot next year.

In addition to NBC owned-and-operated KNBC and Telemundo-affiliate KVEA, the LA bureau for NBC’s “Nightly News” and Telemundo will be moved, according to the Los Angeles Times. The current NBC Universal building is in Burbank.

KNBC’s studio facilities were upgraded just last month as part of a rebranding effort at the station.

NBCUniversal has decided to kill an ambitious plan to develop an office development and news production facility in the Universal City section of Los Angeles.

According to a recently released SEC filing from developer Thomas Properties Group, which was posted by Curbed LA, NBCUniversal agreed to terminate further work on a development that would have included space for KNBC, Telemundo-affiliate KVEA, and NBC News’ West Coast bureau, as well as “Access Hollywood.” Read more

Jose Cancela has been named general manager of KVEA, the Telemundo station in Los Angeles. The move marks a return to Telemundo for Cancela, who was president and chief operating officer of their station group from 1992 to 1998.

“We are excited to welcome Jose back to Telemundo,” current station group president Ronald Gordon said in a statement. “His leadership skills, extensive broadcasting and operational experience, as well as his deep knowledge and understanding of the U.S. Hispanic audience will be a tremendous asset to KVEA.”

Cancela has vast experience across Spanish language stations. His career began at Univision in 1984 as an account executive at Miami’s WLTV before taking on several other  management positions across Univision stations. He joins KVEA from Hispanic USA Inc., a market resource firm in Miami that he founded in 2004. In 2003, Cancela was a candidate for mayor of Miami-Dade County; his campaign ended in 2004.
