*Updated to include more station lineups.
It’s Adriana López not Arévalo.
this is exciting local news at 12 or 11 am depending on time zone. that means these Telemundo stations will kinda be like the English-language pros. A newscast in the mornings, noon, and evening, and weekends. And P.S. all local Telemundo owned station (If there in this expansion or not) already stream their newscast on their respective websites so that not really new it the national program that going to be live streamed “Noticias Telemundo Al MedioDía” if you’re meaning by all social media platform like Facebook, Youtube or Periscope but other than that’s new however locally (like I said they stream there newscast online) its not really new. Remeber Telemundo was the first to do an all-digital newscast back in 2015, which Univision copied over and created national digital noon newscast based of that. #CorruptUnivisión
