Cox Media Group, which owns and operates ABC affiliate WSOC channel 9, launched Telemundo Charlotte today at 6 a.m. ET. – the first full-power high definition Spanish-language local broadcast station in the Charlotte DMA.

Telemundo Charlotte will air on WSOC-TV’s subchannel 9.2.

Cox has been promoting the launch on its ABC affiliate, highlighting Telemundo’s upcoming FIFA ConfederationsCup and 2018 World Cup.
