UPDATED: Keith Turner to Replace David Lawenda at Univision

Ad sales president out, former NFL exec in

President of ad sales David Lawenda is leaving Univision in early September, a memo from Univision CEO Randy Falco to staffers said on Thursday morning. "David Lawenda informed me that he will be leaving the company during the week of Labor Day," Falco's email said.

Lawenda leaves the Spanish-language broadcaster, far and away the market share leader in U.S. Hispanic television, at a crucial time. The company's upfront presentation this year was a blowout far beyond any years past, and it has pushed to increase CPMs closer to the rates paid to English-language broadcasters.
