[1][2] In 1954, Angel Ramos contacted journalist Evelio Otero and informed him that he was able to receive news footage with no audio from an American distributor called TeleNews (when translated to Spanish: Telenoticias).

The idea would be for Otero to present the footage Ramos obtained and narrate the news in Spanish and thus Telenoticias was born.

On October 11, 2001, NBC (which itself would merge with Vivendi Universal a year-and-a-half later to become the present-day NBCUniversal) purchased Telemundo Communications Group from Sony and Liberty Media for $1.98 billion.

At the end of the cutbacks, Telenoticias was airing two editions a day, one at 5 p.m. and one at 10 p.m. and over 70 employees lost their jobs in the news department.

Soto León remained on the position until 2024 when he moved to the 11 a.m. newscast while Zugey Lamela took a leave of absence for maternity time.

Rivera Saniel joined Lamela on the 4 p.m. broadcast on January 2nd, 2025 as part of Governor Jennifer Gonzalez's inaguration day coverage.

Ivonne Orsini and Ramón "Gatto" Gómez, who previously worked with rival station WAPA, were announced as the hosts on January 5, 2021, while former Senator Zoe Laboy joined the show for a political analysis segment.

[24] The first broadcast of Hoy Día Puerto Rico was on February 15, 2021, live from the Sandra Zaiter Studio at WKAQ-TV.

On February 3, 2023, Ramón "Gatto" Gómez announced he would be leaving the show to cover the 2023 Baloncesto Superior Nacional basketball tournament as an analyst.

Hosted by Rafael Lenín Lopez, the show features political analysis, special interviews, and discussions of topics relevant to Puerto Ricans' daily lives.

Special contributors to the show include PNP Senator Thomas Rivera Schatz, former Puerto Rican governor Alejandro García Padilla, Carlos Díaz Olivo, Luis Pabón Roca, and Anabelle Torres Colberg.

Currently, Telenoticias uses the Look S production graphics and theme songs featuring slight updates to showcase the local stations identity.
