CircleSeven 1955 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 B&C posted this afternoon that 14 Telemundo O&Os will extend its early evening broadcast a half hour earlier, beginning September 26. The article stated that this comes after the stations launched its 5:30pm broadcast less than two years ago. It plans to hire 30 new newsroom personnel to support the news expansion.

24994J 5585 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Does this presumably mean that 4pm newscasts will launch on stations currently airing at 4:30 (like Chicago, and probably others)? EDIT: Question answered. Yes, but it doesn't say that it will be at 4. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/telemundo-stations-announce-5-p-m-newscast/173028 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15192-telemundo-oos-launching-5pm-news/#findComment-153794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmykun 13 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I still wonder why WKAQ hasn't restarted their morning news. The last time it failed, because people didn't flip from the long-established morning shows on WLII and WAPA, but WLII's news division is long dead and WAPA has no competition.

The PR market is in such an economic morass that they might not see value in it. As to the rest of the additions, I'm not sure how the 4pm news will go over. Honestly I would have liked to see a 6pm newscast in the MT/CT time zones.

No. All they have to do is move it to 4:00pm with Gordo y la Flaca at 3:00pm and just cancel an airing of one of Univision's old telenovelas.

Channel 2 will just continue competing at 12/5/10pm on weekdays and 5/10pm on weekends. The old morning newscasts were cancelled when NBC 2.0 (Thanks Jeff Zucker) hit in '08. I can't forsee a morning newscast until the economy turns ship, if ever.

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 As to the rest of the additions, I'm not sure how the 4pm news will go over. Honestly I would have liked to see a 6pm newscast in the MT/CT time zones. Unlike with the English language networks, prime time programming on the Spanish language networks (Telemundo, Univision and the like) has always started at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT, 6:00 CT/MT. Even though Telemundo might have a little more leeway, given that Caso Cerrado: Edicion Especial occupies the 7:00/6:00 hour instead of telenovelas (like what Univision and Azteca choose to put in the slot), I don't think an early evening newscast following Noticiero Telemundo in the Central and Mountain zones is gonna happen for that particular reason. I'm not sure if the Telemundo O&Os would even be able to add midday newscasts, since the network carries telenovelas during the 11:00-1:00 ET/PT slot (even though a few currently air local newsmagazines within that time period).

No way they ditch the 7pm edition of Caso Cerrado. That brings in good ratings, and a good lead in to their primetime shows. A midday newscast might be possible seeing as those telenovelas ( if you can call them that) are foreign dramas dubbed in spanish-- they're just placeholders until Suelta la Sopa comes on. They could easily ditch those... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15192-telemundo-oos-launching-5pm-news/#findComment-153875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2449 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Most air mid-morning shows at 10:00am. I say shows because some may be newscasts while others are entertainment shows like my Telemundo O&O station WSCV 51 which airs lifestyle entertainment show "Acceso Total" during that timeslot and its right on after "Un Nuevo Dia" (A New Day) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15192-telemundo-oos-launching-5pm-news/#findComment-153877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
