The turmoil at UNIVISION continues with the exit of Chief Content Officer ISAAC LEE, who the company says is stepping down to start his own production company.  LEE has been with UNIVISION for seven-and-a-half years, first as President of News and then as Chief Content Officer, overseeing content on UNIVISION and UNI MAS, including the networks' initiatives to develop new programming with TELEVISA, the creation of English-language Millennial-focused news network FUSION, and the ill-fated acquisition of the former GAWKER MEDIA websites (now GIZMODO MEDIA GROUP) and THE ONION.

UNIVISION Chairman HAIM SABAN praised LEE for "leading UNIVISION’s content team with integrity and courage and helping elevate and position UNIVISION in mainstream American media. He understood the relevance that UNIVISION has for Hispanic America and served the audience well. ISAAC has vision and knows how to execute. I wish him well and expect more exciting things from him in the future.”

LEE said, “I want to thank my extraordinarily talented and hard-working colleagues at UNIVISION, as well as HAIM and the entire Board, for all the support I have received in my nearly eight years at UCI.”
