Telemundo’s first live local newscasts in Boston go on the air next Monday, August 17.
José Rivera Adrovet and Cecy Gutiérrez have been hired as on-air talent for “Noticiero Telemundo Boston,” which will air Monday-Friday at 6 and 11 pm on WNEU.
José, who left WVEA Univision Tampa in July, will anchor both newscasts. Cecy, who for the past 9 years has been a weather producer at WSI (a division of the Weather Company) is on board as weather anchor.
Grace Gómez and Arianne Alcorta join the news team as Multi-Media Journalists. Grace was most recently a Multimedia Journalist at Telemundo Las Vegas. Arianne previously interned at WPLG Miami and Univision network.
The “Noticiero Telemundo Boston” news team will be housed within the New England Cable Network (necn), a 24-hour regional cable news network owned and operated by NBCUniversal, based in Newton, Massachusetts.
Telemundo announced it would launch the newscasts back in June.
Univision Boston is about to be dubbed and rivaled up and prepare for a battle. WUNI-TV and WNEU-TV Telemundo vs. Univision in news has arrived in Boston. This is big for the WNEU-TV,If they had a 5:30pm newscast it would have been better for the first time ever 11p.m. newscast is live unlike WUNI-TV. Also they have local weather unlike WUNI-TV which a meteorologist until Vianey Arana left in November 2014. WNEU-TV new weather presenter are Cecy Gutierrez formerly of WUNI-TV until she left in 2010. Now my question is have video-reporters? So Telemundo as normal wins as part of their awesome news expansion.
