History

1954-1987

WKAQ-TV launched the Telemundo brand on March 28, 1954. The station was founded by Angel Ramos, owner of Puerto Rico's main newspaper at the time, "El Mundo" and Puerto Rico's first radio station, WKAQ-AM, or "Radio El Mundo". Ramos wanted to maintain a consistent branding between its properties using the "mundo" theme ("mundo" is the Spanish word for "world"), and thus named WKAQ-TV Telemundo. He had tried to obtain a TV license as early as the mid 1940s, but due to an FCC licensing freeze for all new American TV stations, Ramos had to wait until 1954 to obtain the license.

Expansion

Between 1988 and 1991, Telemundo acquired stations in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Washington. The network decided to outsource their news division in 1988; CNN to produced two newscasts, branded "Noticiero Telemundo CNN". Produced in Atlanta, "Noticiero Telemundo CNN" was anchored by Jorge Gestoso and Maria Elvira Salazar. Lana Montalban who anchored the show knon then as Telemundo HBC, returned to her native Argentina. When Salazar decided to take a reporter's position at Noticiero Univision in Miami, in her place, former Miss Universe Cecilia Bolocco joined Gestoso.

In 1994, Telemundo caught on the fever of producing 24 hour news. The network launched "Telenoticias" partnering with Argentina's Artear Network, Antena 3 from Spain, and Reuters. The venture was not successful and the service was sold to CBS. Rebranded as "CBS Telenoticias", the network did air all over the Americas.


CBS Telenoticias was sold back to Telemundo and the network branded it "Telemundo International"


1992-1998

In 1992, Telemundo went through another management change, this time under former Univision president Joaquin Blaya. Television shows were cancelled or merged. Longtime Telemundo executives were released and in 1993, Telemundo branded themselves with the campaign, Arriba, Telemundo, Arriba.


In 1993, Telemundo began a trend that has been proven to be moderately successful: producing their own soap operas. The first soaps were "Angelica, mi vida", "Marielena", "Guadalupe", "Señora Tentación", and "Tres Destinos". In no time, Telemundo saw their productions being courted by international markets and syndicators. Their effort was set back, however, when rival and industry leader, Televisa, bought Capitalvision, the production house that had been making the Telemundo soap operas.


In 1995, Telemundo made yet another bold yet failed movement, aware of the increasing Hispanic population in the west coast, specially in Los Angeles, it started to produce television shows in the heart of Hollywood at Raleigh Studios. Three television shows "La Hora Lunática", "El y Ella", a talk show hosted by Sophia Webber, "Dando y Dando". The shows did not attract the lucrative and East Coast stations, so they were cancelled.


1998-2001

In 1998, Telemundo was bought by a partnership between cable's Liberty Media and entertainment conglomerate Sony Pictures Entertainment Helmed by yet another management team under the leadership of former CBS executive Peter Tortoricci, hopes of attracting the bilingual market were explored. Lo mejor de los dos Mundos ("The best of both worlds") campaign was launched. Several billboards went up in cities such as Miami and San Francisco heralding a "new era" for Telemundo.

2001-present

In 2001, Telemundo was purchased by NBC and is now a part of NBC Universal. Jim MacNamara remained at the helm of the network during and after the sale. Their main competitor, Univision, continues to have an upper hand in the ratings wars, though not in all time slots. Local stations began producing early morning news to be more competitive in their respective markets. Telemundo produces far more programming than Univision and does not rely strictly on Mexican shows. In contrast, Univision's schedule is heavy on Mexican shows due to am long-term exclusive deal with media giant Televisa. After three years, NBC officials asked MacNamara to resign, and replaced him with Don Browne, who had been head of NBC affiliate WTVJ in Miami.

News programs were created in the wake of September 11. "Hoy en el Mundo", anchored by Marian de la Fuente and Jose Diaz Balart went on the air informing viewers of national and international events. This program was yet cancelled by the much heralded arrival of Maria Antonieta Collins from Univision. "Cada Dia con Maria Antonieta" went on the air in 2005. The show never caught on and changes were made. The program now airing is "Cada Dia". Maria Antonieta stayed on and the much recycled Jose Diaz Balart returned yet again to mornings on Telemundo. (Previous attempts anchored by JDB were "Esta Manana", the beforementioned "Hoy en el Mundo" and "Cada Dia".


In 2004, Telemundo created Telemundo Television Studios in Miami, Florida. The network also began subtitling many of their telenovelas into English via closed captioning.
