Noticias Telemundo Al Mediodía debuts new look and anchor team

August 21, 2023 by Veronica Villafañe

Noticias Telemundo has spruced up the network’s midday newscast program, with a newly designed look and anchor team.

Starting today, Emmy award-winning journalists Nicole Suárez and Octavio Pulido are the co-anchors of the revamped Noticias Telemundo Mediodía, which airs weekdays at 12:30 pm ET.

Telemundo had been rotating anchors for the noon show, following anchor Nacho Lozano’s departure in March.

In addition to breaking news and coverage, the newscast will include the regular entertainment segment “Pase VIP,” led by Telemundo correspondent Quique Usales, who previously worked as a reporter for Univision and Televisa.

The show will also feature special reports from the network’s environmental unit Planeta Tierra and the latest viral news on social media with multimedia journalist Miriam Arias.

Suárez was previously an anchor on Telemundo’s morning program, hoyDía and a news correspondent for Al Rojo Vivo. She joined Noticias Telemundo in 2016.

Pulido arrives to the network from Telemundo Arizona, where was most recently lead anchor for the station’s 5 and 10 pm newscasts. He joined Telemundo Arizona as a weekend anchor and multimedia journalist in 2016. He previously worked as a video journalist and anchor at Univision Arizona.

Noticias Telemundo Mediodía will also stream live on YouTube, Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).

    Mmm… Y berlanga..? Le pasó lo mismo que le pasó en univision donde no pasó de ser el comodín de las noticias. So sad for him… :’/

      Deja el veneno Bro. Martin represents a totally different resource for Telemundo: salary, age bracket and demographic wise. Why are you sad for him ? He looks pretty upbeat on cam. And I’m sure he ain’t losing no sleep due your concern. Get a life.

    The newscast is good. We love Nicole and the team in general is good. The problem with Telemundo is the blatantly BIAISED they are, their agenda-driven segments, and their anti-Trump and anti-conservatives coverage in general. It’s hard to watch. Do they really think that ALL Latinos are leftists or socialists? Even if the majority were Dems, NOT all the Latinos are ‘progressives’ nor fully support all the left ideas, like abortion, Drag Queen lectures for kids in schools and libraries, or Trans agenda not notifying parents, or big climate push at the expense of the economy, or even open borders for folks to come in not going through proper order, like many Latino families have had to pay for, etc. Univision already takes care of all that. It would be good to have “not a conservative alternative’ but at least a more balanced alternative. A real “las cosas como son”…

      You have a choice: Switch the channel to Fox News or Newsmax…

        I didn’t know Fox News or Newsmax were in Spanish. Plus that’s not the point. Those networks have conservative talk shows, but at least their news coverage is not as biased. But Telemundo’s slogan is “las cosas como son” and that’s not what they’re offering to the public. Not by any means.
        Don’t you think the Spanish speakers deserve to get NEWS, real news, without so much bias and agenda? Once again, no one is asking for conservative coverage either, but balanced and more fair news coverage. Journalism like it’s meant to be, not liberal not conservative. This is lacking in English media too, but as you point out, at least English speakers have more options to learn about the different angles, but unfortunately that’s not the case with Spanish speakers.

          The Democrats know that no matter what, most minorities will keep on voting for them, hands down, no demands fulfilled. Hence the Why, the Latino Media keeps on pandering to the Left. Remember that once here, they tend to vote Democrat when for their countries, Latinos aim mostly, for right wing tough hand kind of governments. The nerve !

        The fact that you’ve inferred that one is a Right Wing outlet and not to recognize that the other one has been canceled by a gazillion of TV carriers, speaks volumes about your level of ignorance regarding both the TV and political arenas nowadays.
