Univision’s nightly news anchor, Elián Zidán, has announced his departure from the network’s evening broadcast. The move marks the end of a significant chapter in the journalist’s career, as he prepares for new opportunities within the media company.
“Today, I close a very special stage on the Edición Nocturna. Thank you for allowing me into your homes, for your trust, and for accompanying me night after night. The stories continue… we’re just changing screens. I am excited about what’s to reach and continuing to connect with you from new spaces at Univision. Starting Monday, join Paulina Sodi and this great team who will continue to bring you the information every night. We’ll witness each other again… wherever the news happens. Thank you always.”

“The best is yet to come, dear Elian. Since beyond the set, the lights, and the teleprompter, your essence has always been that of a committed, curious, courageous journalist… one of those who wants to be where the story is happening. I admire your professionalism, your ethics, and the passion with which you take on every challenge. I am sure that this new stage will take you even further. I love you and I’m always here for you.”
Interiano’s words reflect the professional respect and familial affection surrounding this transition. While Zidán steps down from his nightly broadcast role, he will remain connected to Univision through new ventures, reaffirming his commitment to reporting where news unfolds. The chapter closes, but the story continues.
