Pushed Out in Texas

CBS Dallas (KTVT), General Manager Raquel Amparo is gone from the O&O in Dallas.

In the wake of the Skydance deal, Amparo becomes one of the first to be exited under the new owner.

Amparo was named President and General Manager of KTVT in 2021. The choice was a bit surprising considering her limited leadership experience.

Before landing the top job, she had just stepped into her first News Director role at Univision Dallas. Prior to that, she was an executive producer at KTVT.

Under her leadership, KTVT is on its third News Director in as many years.

“Her departure was emotional. Amparo was visibly distraught and crying when she told staff she was stepping down,” said a station insider to FTVLive.

Expect more exits at CBS stations and the network.
