Telemundo adds 24/7 Southwest streaming channel to regional news lineup

Media Moves· June 20, 2026

The Telemundo Station Group has launched Noticias Telemundo Suroeste, a new 24/7 free ad-supported streaming (FAST) channel providing Spanish-language local news across the Southwest United States. Drawing content from six regional Telemundo-owned stations, the channel serves audiences in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. This launch highlights the industry's ongoing shift toward regionalized digital content to reach Spanish-speaking viewers on streaming platforms.

The Telemundo Station Group officially debuted Noticias Telemundo Suroeste to provide comprehensive Spanish-language coverage across five states. The channel aggregates content from six owned stations, including Telemundo 39 Phoenix, Telemundo Colorado, Telemundo Utah, Telemundo Las Vegas, Telemundo 40 Tucson, and Telemundo Nuevo México. Programming includes a mix of live and encore local newscasts, breaking news, weather, sports, and investigative reporting, as well as community specials and lifestyle content focused on the Southwest region.

Distribution for the channel is currently centered on digital and streaming platforms, accessible through the Noticias 24/7 tab on the websites and apps of participating stations. It is also available via Amazon Fire TV Channels, with plans to expand to further free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platforms in the future. This multi-platform approach allows the broadcaster to reach audiences beyond traditional linear television, catering to the increasing demand for localized digital news.

This new launch marks the fifth regional streaming channel for the Telemundo Station Group, joining existing services for California, Florida, Texas, and the Northeast. The group has been aggressively expanding its streaming footprint, having also recently launched Telemundo Puerto Rico to provide mainland U.S. viewers with access to content from San Juan-based WKAQ. These moves reflect a broader strategy within the media sector to leverage local news assets for 24/7 digital distribution, targeting specific demographic clusters across the United States.
