Wow, a network midday newscast? When was the last time that was even a thing? I know NBC used to have a five-minute newscast at 12:55 PM for much of the 70s (which proved to be the detriment of the neutered, riddle-less Jackpot! and the criminally short-lived Three for the Money).

Telemundo's really, really serious about news. Univision has not responded at all, either.

 

I would have thought local morning news, not midday, would be next, but this is quite the surprise. Both local and network news, too...very surprising.

They have. Its called "Noticiero Univision - Edicion Digital" at 12:00 Noon followed by the local editions of Edicion Digital in select markets at 12:30 p.m. In other markets, its Hoy.

Oh duh, that's right. Have they expanded in the early evening?

Primer Impacto is still on at 5:00 p.m. in 2018.

 

The big Univision affiliates that do news are on weekdays from 5:00-8:00 a.m. (last hour on UniMas), 12:30, 6:00 and 11:00 p.m.

 

The big Telemundo affiliates that do news will soon have weekdays from 5:00-7:00 a.m., 12:00 Noon, 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 and 11:00 p.m.

 

In other words, Telemundo is smoking Univision out of the water and you are right, Telemundo is SERIOUS about news.

Sorry to double post but I wanna offer my thoughts...

 

I remember when WSCV was just 6-7am, 6 and 11pm. A decade later, they've added a 5am hour and added weeknights at 5 and 5:30pm. Not to mention, they're bringing back midday news too! WSCV used to have one on at 11:30am, I believe before the NBCU meltdown, pre-Comcast.

But wait, what will happen to Acceso Total, and isn't Un Nuevo Dia supposed to expand to 90 minutes later to fully (and above) compete with Univision's Despierta America? http://www.latingossip.com/television/un-nuevo-dia-expanding-by-an-hour-and-a-half.html

I guess UND plans didn't go through. That's okay since Telemundo is adding more local news across its affiliates.
