Cuddihy, previously the president of the Univision Television Group, will supervise a total of 130 TV and radio stations, with an emphasis on content, digital, operations, local sales and community relations. Rodriguez, formerly the executive VP of program scheduling and promotions, will be in charge of marketing, namely the Univision Agency, whose media inventory across broadcast, cable, digital and radio properties amounts to more than $500 million.
The promoted pair, based in New York, will report to Randy Falco, president and CEO of Univision Communications.
