Telemundo Puerto Rico, also known as
Telemundo Internacional, is a
Latin American cable channel.
History
Telemundo Internacional began as
Latin America's second 24-hour news channel that did not broadcast from Latin America (NBC's
Canal de Noticias NBC, launched in 1993 from Charlotte, NC, was the first), and was owned in part by
CBS. During the
mid-90s,
Telenoticias was owned by
Reuters, Telemundo,
Grupo Clarín (
Argentina) and Antena 3 (
Spain), and broadcast in
Spanish and
Portuguese. From the beginning, the group's several owners did not have a smooth relationship.
The service was then bought by the
CBS network and branded
CBS Telenoticias. The Telemundo network struck a deal, buying 2 newscasts from the company and airing them at 6:30 p.m and at 10:00. The network also was able to utilize the CBS Newspath news feed to supplement their content as well. The company used the CBS Newspath headquarters in Washington to house a small crew of reporters.
