Raquel Amparo announced on LinkedIn that she is a new VP of Content for TEGNA stations for Texas.
"I’ll be overseeing content strategy, driving innovation and supporting nearly a dozen news teams in Texas," Amparo posted. "Not to mention, the bonus of getting to work with and learn from my fellow VPs of content: Chris Peña, Julie Wolfe, Javier Morgado, Carol Fowler, Michael Valentine - and our fearless leader, Adrienne Roark."
Amparo most recently served as President and General Manager of CBS News Texas, overseeing CBS 11 KTVT and TXA 21 in Dallas-Fort Worth.
She returned to CBS DFW in 2021 after four years at Univision’s KUVN-DT and KSTR-DT, where she rose from News Director in 2017 to Vice President of News in 2019. Soon after, she also took on the role of regional content lead, guiding Univision’s large-market stations across Texas and Chicago. Her leadership was recognized in 2020 when she was named Broadcaster of the Year by the Texas Association of Broadcast Educators.
Earlier in her career, Amparo spent six years with KTVT, joining in 2011 as an Executive Producer and advancing to Managing Editor in 2016. Before that, she produced for CBS Miami WFOR and My 33 WBFS, and later worked as a producer at FOX 5 DC WTTG in Washington, D.C. from 2007–2011.
An Emmy Award winner and Carole Kneeland Project for Responsible Journalism Fellow, Amparo earned a Master of Arts in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Miami and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Central Florida. In 2022, she expanded her leadership training through Harvard Business School’s Cable Executive Management Program, focusing on industry disruption, business strategy, and media innovation.
