Luis Calle, Vice President of Operations, News and Sports of Caracol Televisión since 2012, passed away this Saturday. The president of the company, Gonzalo Córdoba Mallarino, broke the news through the following statement:
“With immense sadness, I must inform you that Luis Calle, Vice President of Operations, News and Sports of Caracol Televisión, has passed away. In the midst of the pain that his departure causes us, we want to remember with much affection a career full of successes and sacrifices, and a full professional and family life.
Undoubtedly, there are many lessons that Luis left us and we were fortunate to have him by our side as a great teacher. There are countless journalists who have been trained with him since he returned to the country after a successful career in various international networks. Therefore, we are aware of the challenge and commitment we have to maintain his legacy. Professionally, a comprehensive structure, fine criteria and a clear awareness of duty and decency.
Behind the figure that for many was serious and firm, there was an exceptional human being, sensitive in aesthetics and implacable in form. With a deep knowledge of the world and the country in which we live, he put all his skills and virtues at the service of a medium, which sometimes overlooks the forces that build it. His departure leaves a huge void in the Caracol TV family.
Without a doubt, Luis was also an exemplary family man and dedicated to his home. We extend all our affection to his wife Clara, his children Susana, Marcela and Jorge Andrés, and his grandchildren. We share with you that pain that great losses leave behind.
We are convinced that Luis has left us an enormous task to do and, today more than ever, we have a commitment and duty to fulfill it in the best way possible. That will be the best way to honor a great friend and colleague.
Caracol Television is in mourning. We will exalt the memory of Luis Calle as he taught us; respecting the values and principles that he always defended. “
