Telemundo Says Salinas 'Mayor' May Not Lose Job

Station Investigating If Relationship Violated Ethics

 SLIDESHOW: Crazy For Love

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A local Telemundo affiliate says it has placed newscaster Mirthala Salinas on leave while the company investigates whether her relationship with L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa breached journalistic ethics.

It was first revealed Tuesday that Villaraigosa had been in an extramarital affair with Salinas for about a year.

In a statement, KVEA TV general manager Manuel Abud said, "Given the seriousness of the allegations that have been made, we have decided to conduct an internal review of the decisions and events that led us to where we are today."

Salinas once covered the mayor as a political reporter. Telemundo took her off the political beat about eleven months ago. Still, as the station's news anchor, Salinas read an on-air report on the mayor's separation from his wife.
