NBC launching new Telemundo San Diego O&O

From A3N on TVNewsTalk:

Well, I have been speculating about it for months, but today while doing some job searching, I came across an opening for a Finance Coordinator position at Telemundo San Diego. The name caught me by surprise since the local Telemundo affiliate brands as Telemundo 33. Anyways, here is a bit of the job announcement:

NBCUniversal is launching a new Telemundo-owned station in San Diego. This is an exciting project that will expand NBC 7 / KNSD’s news staff with a new team of Spanish-speaking and bilingual journalists to launch the new station. Both news teams will serve local Spanish- and English-speaking viewers. The new Telemundo station team will work closely with KNSD team members in NBC 7’s new state-of-the-art facility in Kearny Mesa, California.

This move is not surprising for many reasons. Last year KNSD moved into a larger facility that houses two studios, and a larger, open newsroom. Also, Comcast has been very aggressive in promoting the NBC/Telemundo synergy.

I'm assuming that they'll park the new Telemundo station on one of KNSD's subchannels. Also, no word when the new station will start up.

Is NBC buying the Telemundo affiliation from Entravision, who runs current affiliate XHAS Tijuana? What will happen to that station?

Here is an update from TV spy

Lizzet Lopez and Guadalupe Venegas (pictured) have been named news anchors at San Diego’s new Telemundo station, which launches July 1 with four half-hour weekday newscasts. Also joining the team weather anchor Ana Cristina Sanchez and sports anchor MJ Acosta, who also reports for KNSD.

The station is also bringing on reporters Leticia Estrada, Lisette Martinez, Anlleyn Venegas and Rigo Villalobos.

Telemundo 20 will be co-located with NBC-owned KNSD at its year-old facility in suburban Kearny Mesa.

“We’re excited to welcome an outstanding team of journalists to San Diego to help us launch Telemundo 20,” said Richard Kelley, president and GM of both stations. “We conducted an extensive search to find the best Spanish-speaking and bilingual journalists and look forward to Lizzet and Guadalupe anchoring our weekly newscasts alongside a dynamic team.”

Lopez joins from Univision 45 Houston, while Venegas joins from the network, where he’s been a host, reporter and anchor for Telemundo’s entertainment, sports and news programs for the last 10 years.
