Telemundo San Diego ready to kick off operations

June 30, 2017 by Veronica Villafañe

Telemundo San Diego anchors
From L to R: Ana Cristina Sánchez, Guadalupe Venegas, Lizzet Lopez and MJ Acosta will anchor the Telemundo San Diego newscast.

The big day has arrived for Telemundo San Diego as the brand new owned-and-operated station goes live tomorrow, July 1, taking over the network signal previously broadcast by Entravision as Telemundo 33.

Telemundo 20 will kick off its programming at 6 pm with a half-hour program showing the final preparations for the launch of the station’s newscasts two days later.

Telemundo hired Lizzet López and Guadalupe Venegas to anchor the newscasts. They’ll be joined by weather anchor Ana Cristina Sánchez, sports anchor MJ Acosta, who will also anchor sports for NBC7, and multimedia journalists Leticia Estrada, Lissette Martínez, Anlleyn Venegas and Rigo Villalobos.

The station will air four local 30-minute newscasts Monday to Friday at 5, 5:30, 6 and 11 pm PT.

That same day, Entravision, which lost the Telemundo affiliation earlier this year, is launching Azteca América branded newscasts on channel 33, under the new banner “Noticias Ya Frontera.”

    Amazing team that Pedro Calderon put together. Anything that Pedro touches is successful. Can’t wait to see the station explode with success! Congratulations to the team.
