"I am very proud to announce this new partnership, as it signals yet another turning point in the history of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade," said Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez, Chairperson of the Parade. "While the Parade reaches millions of people of all ages and cultural backgrounds in person on Fifth Avenue, live television and online broadcasts enable us to reach the entire Puerto Rican diaspora around the globe. I welcome Channel 7 to our family, and I thank the company for joining us at this very exciting moment in the history and for its continued support of the Puerto Rican and Latino communities."

"Channel 7 is proud to bring New York's biggest, most colorful and exciting parade to even more people than ever before," said Dave Davis, President and General Manager of WABC-TV, "We have a long standing relationship with the Puerto Rican community and we couldn't be more grateful to celebrate with them."
