[edit] Laughing stock

The following is in the article: The network also tried its luck by having a priest anchor a talk show. "Padre Alberto", Father Alberto Cutie, a Miami priest was tapped in to host this program. Sadly, this venture also failed. If Telemundo had any traces of ratings this experiment was the last nail on its coffin. Telemundo became the laughing stock of the industry. Viewers left the network in droves. Local stations lost the little audience share they had and heads began to roll once again. The Tortoricci team was out and Jim MacNamara a former Universal Pictures executive born in Panama was hired to preside over embattled Telemundo. Is this true? The words laughing stock are harsh.

Not necessarily, Before NBC Universal bought the network, Telemundo used to be regularly parodied on Saturday Night Live. I read elsewhere that Telemundo had been considered a Laughing Stock, but added a request for citation to that part of the article. --dhett 21:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yahoo! Telemundo?

What about Yahoo! Telemundo??? Is it owned by Yahoo! or by Telemundo? I'm seriously confused!

I cleared it up now, so if your confsed again, let me know.. Lugnuts6 19:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Morning Wars

This section is quite confusing and poorly written. I tried cleaning it up, but couldn't tell when the editor was writing about De Mañanita, Telenoticias, or any of the other newscasts mentioned. Also, "breakfastcast", while clever, isn't a word, and therefore, shouldn't be used in the article. --dhett 21:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I cleaned it up and dumped some dead weight,And gave each part its own title and a more concise explaination,made it clear as well. any problems, just ask Lugnuts6 01:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Renovating this Article

I renovated this article because this article didn't make any sense. There were a bunch of errors when it came to spelling, the history section was extremely long and confusing, and there were some unnecessary sections that needed to be cleared out. So, I hope you enjoy this new look.--jsalims80 20:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Slight Correction to make, the Saturday and Sunday lineup is incorrect,the new line up for Saturday and Sunday is (courtsey Telemundo) :

• VAS O NO VAS 7-8:30 pm Saturday
• SEGURO y URGENTE 8:30-9pm Saturday
• CINEMUNDO SABADO 9-11p saturday
• CINEMUNDO DOMINGO 7-11pm Sunday

Otherwise, not bad, concise and spelt better Lugnuts6 15:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I know I'm probably mistaken, but I thought WKAQ was channel 4 (canal 4).Godofredo29 (talk) 00:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jose Diaz-Balart

Hello everyone, just wondering if it would be appropriate to put up a link to Jose Diaz-Balart, who is apparently an anchor for this Network, and if so, where would it be placed? Thanks, Thereen 01:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Still confusing to me the page. Just my opinion. Before it had a better discussion of past shows. Doesn't really matter to me. - Alan

[edit] Addition to Hialeah page

I removed this from the Hialeah page because it was not appropriate for that page but maybe it is useful for this article: Descripcion de Telemundo Telemundo, cadena estadounidense de televisión en español, es la fuente esencial de entretenimiento, noticias y deportes para los hispanos.
