Veteran news anchor Jorge Ramos has determined when he will be signing off from "Noticiero Univision."
Ramos, 66, shared on Wednesday that Friday will mark his final day at the news desk on the Spanish-language TV station.
"After 38 years as co-anchor at Univision, my last newscast will be this Friday. Also, on Sunday we'll air the last episode of our political show Al Punto," he wrote on social media. "It's been quite a ride. So grateful."
Ramos has been working at Univision since he was 28, and "Al Punto" has been on the air for 17 years, he shared in a separate post.
Over the decades, the Emmy-winning journalist has interviewed major figures from U.S. presidents – Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush – to world leaders like Fidel Castro, Nicolás Maduro (which got Ramos detained and deported from Venezuela in 2019) and Hugo Chávez. Ramos has also published more than a dozen books.

Known as the "Walter Cronkite of Latin America," Ramos joined "Noticiero Univision" in 1986 and hosted the program alongside news anchor Salinas until her departure in 2017. He also started hosting Univision's Sunday morning public affairs series "Al Punto" in 2007.

On Instagram, news industry colleagues such as Ana Navarro, former "Noticiero Univision" co-host María Elena Salinas, and Luis Carlos Velez shared their support for the Emmy-winning journalist.
"Thank you for everything you have done, my dear Jorge, for uplifting, informing and representing our community," Navarro commented in Spanish under Ramos' Instagram post. "Looking forward to the next chapter."
Ramos' exit from the network after nearly 40 years was announced in September.
"This is not a farewell. I will continue anchoring 'Noticiero Univision' until December, and afterwards I will share my professional plan," Ramos, 66, said in a statement. "I am deeply grateful for these four decades at Univision and very proud to be part of a team that has established strong leadership over the years."
While Ramos did not disclose the reason for his exit, the TV journalist and Univision "mutually agreed" to not renew his contract.
During the broadcast of "Noticiero Univision" on the day his upcoming departure was announced, Ramos said the decision was "difficult" and "sad." The father of two also thanked his colleagues and the program's viewers for their enduring support, adding that Univision has become his "second home."
"I want to thank those who view us every night, who have accompanied me for so long, with so much affection and loyalty," Ramos said in Spanish.
