In a surprise announcement during the company's third quarter earnings call on Thursday, Albert Rodriguez said he is stepping down as President & COO of Spanish Broadcasting System. Rodriguez was named COO in May, 2012, and then President in 2021, after serving as Chief Revenue Officer for the company's TV unit and General Manager of its Miami TV operations. Before that, Rodriguez served as General Sales Manager for the SBS Miami's radio cluster.

Rodriguez said he's resigning after "much reflection and consideration." He'll remain with SBS as a strategic advisor "providing guidance and strategic insights to ensure a seamless transition."

"It's been an incredible journey," added Rodriguez. "And I'm immensely proud of what we've achieved together, in particular, to the beacon of the Hispanic voice in America, which is my dear brother, Raul Alarcon, Jr. He's like a brother to me."

SBS Chief Financial Officer Josw Molina concluded the earnings call by wishing Rodriguez the best in his new role. "You did an amazing job and will continue to do amazing things."
