Telemundo Appoints New Streaming Chief

NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises has tapped Joaquin Duro as executive VP of sports and head of streaming.

Duro will continue to run the Telemundo Deportes sports division and has added oversight of the company’s streaming activities. He will continue to report to Luis Fernandez, chairman of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, and oversee activities across YouTube, FAST, Peacock and the Telemundo app.

“Sports and streaming are two major priorities for Telemundo’s future growth,” said Fernandez. “This appointment is a natural transition for Joaquin given his extensive experience leading streaming and digital businesses targeting the full spectrum of Latino audiences. This strategic move aligns with our company’s growth objectives and positions us to capitalize on emerging market opportunities in the streaming industry.”

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead two key growth engines at Telemundo,” said Duro. “Latinos are super streamers and love live content, especially sports. With NBCUniversal’s support, our incredible content pipeline—including the largest sporting event in the world—and our great team of professionals at Telemundo, we are extraordinarily well positioned to serve our audience with the best world-class sports content in Spanish, while growing our multiplatform streaming business across entertainment, news and sports.”
