New York — Cesar Conde, president of Univision Networks, has been recognized by Forbes magazine as one of this year’s 40 Under 40. Conde, 38, tied for No. 9 with David Rhodes, 38, president of CBS News.
According to the magazine, the 2012 election will be a big moment for Hispanic voters — and by proxy for Univision, the most popular Spanish-language network in the United States. Conde continues to roll out new initiatives at the network, which is ranked fifth overall but has been steadily stealing viewers from its rivals, especially in the 18- 34-year-old category.
He recently announced UVideos, a digital network that will air all of the company’s shows, and a 24-hour English language news channel for Latinos that will be produced in partnership with ABC.
