Tom Arnost has been named executive VP and chief revenue officer at the Telemundo Station Group. It is a new title for the group and he starts immediately. Arnost will report to Manuel Abud, president of the group, and will be based in Los Angeles.

Enrique Perez, senior VP of sales and marketing for the Telemundo Station Group, will report directly to Arnost, who will work closely with Dan Lovinger, executive VP of advertising sales and integrated marketing, at the network level. 

"Tom has been a key player in leading the charge of raising awareness about the Hispanic market and the value of the U.S. Hispanic audience for many years," said Abud. "As Telemundo continues to grow its audience share and work with partners new to the Spanish-language television landscape, his reputation and deep experience driving revenue growth will foster further success for our station group."
