Telemundo: Telemundo Studios
built 232 days ago
KNTV and Telemundo are two completely individual stations that share resources to transmit simultaneously from the same building. Both owned and operated by NBC, the stations relocated from smaller quarters to occupy a 100,000sq ft shared space in San Jose, CA. A corporate mandate to consolidate resulted in a single facility that houses all offices, technical facilities and mirror image studios, offering sweeping vistas of airy newsrooms.

In 1995, under the direction of Harry Abraham Castillo, the network's Executive Vice-President of Programming, Telemundo opened it's first network studio on the West Coast. On the Raleigh Studios lot in Hollywood, three shows began daily production. La Hora Lunática hosted by LA radio personality Humberto Luna; El y Ella a daily talkshow hosted and executive-produced by Gigi Graciette, and Dando y Dando, a gameshow hosted by Rafael Sigler. "Dando y Dando" was short lived while La Hora Lunática aired until 1997. El y Ella went on to become Telemundo's highest rated afternoon program. In 1996, after entering into a production agreement with TV Azteca in Mexico, Telemundo shut down's it's Hollywood studio and relocated El y Ella to Mexico City.

All these shows flopped and again, the network went back to produce quality programming by the Cubans who know what they are doing.

In addition to its Miami studio, Telemundo ... produces novelas at studios it owns in Colombia (the former RTI studio) and Mexico (which it opened late last year). The three studios can now produce between 10 to 12 original novelas a year. Looking forward, with more original programming being produced—not only for initial airing on Telemundo in the United States, but also specifically for first-run sale abroad—it's possible that all of the studios' production costs could be recouped by foreign sales, meaning all the ad revenue generated by the novelas airing on Telemundo will be pure profit.

Telemundo began producing novelas in Miami, first in a partnership deal with Colombian production company RTI in 2003 as Telemundo-RTI Productions. Then, late last year, it acquired RTI and began producing novelas under the Telemundo Studios name at its 100,000 square-foot studio in the Miami suburb of Hialeah (where NBC's Miami Vice was once partially produced in the 1980s).
