December 1, 2014 by Veronica Villafañe

Telexitos_logoThe Telemundo Station Group today launched TeleXitos, a new multicast network that will air action and adventure TV series and movies from the 1970s to 2000s in Spanish.

TeleXitos is now available on the multicast channels of Telemundo’s O&O stations in 16 markets and will later be available to local stations across the country.

The programming consists of old series such as Miami Vice, The A-Team, Xena, Hercules and Homicide: Life On The Streets.

According to the company, TeleXitos will “complement existing Telemundo content,” and will also offer Telemundo stations the opportunity to air local news, sports and special events programming.
