Telemundo paid Ana Jurka more money to prevent her from resigning

Honduran journalist Ana Jurga surprised her followers after revealing the truth about her departure from Telemundo.

Ana Jurka completed 2023, completing a great cycle in her career. In early December, the sports anchor said goodbye to the Telemundo teams, betting on family time.

Now, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​» was calm and was very honest, was the native of Honduras, despite the TV station doing everything possible to retain her, she revealed in detail the reasons why she distanced herself from her shows on the small screen.

“It's my decision, I did it for my family and the desire to grow,” he told Los Top News in an interview where he reiterated that the company had nothing to do with the decision at this stage of his career. “I've actually been very happy to a certain extent. It has nothing to do with having a bad feeling about Telemundo or anything. I just feel like I need something that the company can't give me at this time, and it has nothing to do with money, and nothing to do with me asking for things here or there. Not related, it was for my family, a schedule that I was in was very difficult,” he added.

Ana hosted a game show called Jonah Mixta, which aired live on weekend nights, which meant taking time away from the family at critical times. “I worked during the week, and my schedule was very variable, because those who work on non-sports networks would depend on FIFA dates, x and or z. My standard was Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, and I left at 3:00 in the morning,” he said. He emphasized in his talk with Mandy Friedman.

“I loved it, but it was really hard on my family. It was already causing problems in my personal life. Regardless of the fact that I loved what I was doing, I had to make a decision that either they changed my schedule or I had to leave,” she continued. Her The appeal was clear: weekends to spend with her children, Seth and Noah, and her husband, Joshua.

“I wanted to continue, but not at that time. My boss told me that sports are always on the weekend. What I'm saying is that Telemundo is not a sports network,” he added.

Ana tearfully confesses that they even gave her a huge financial support to sustain her, and amid many meetings and conversations, she asked God for a sign and she got an answer. If the final meeting did not give her the weekend, she would leave whatever was on the table because she understood that it was the heavenly message she had heard.

After her departure, speculation began about a new professional position at the Univision television station, an approach Ana accepted, but not as such an offer. “We've had conversations and they've reached that point.”

On the other hand, he said he got an offer from another place and had to turn it down because they asked him to move, and now he's taking it as a family. “I got an offer in December and I couldn't take it, I had to go for what I was going to do, which included working weekends, and the numbers weren't good enough for me to make the move,” he said. .
