# Telemundo 12

Telemundo, also known as Telemundo 12 is the news program of the Uruguayan channel, Teledoce. It airs from Monday to Friday at three different times, in addition to a broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays. It has been broadcast since 1962.

## History

From its first broadcast, in 1962 and until 2002, it was presented by the journalist Neber Araujo, who was accompanied by different journalists over time.
For almost sixteen years, journalists Aldo Silva and Claudia Garcia were co-presenters of the central newscast, where a lot of journalists went by, and even set changes. However, in March 2019 and after a decision by the channel's authorities, the journalist Claudia Garcia was surprisingly removed from the newscast. Such was the surprise that the viewers were taken on the day that the news began to be rumored and confirmed, that obviously the criticisms of these authorities and the messages of affection to the journalist did not take long to appear.
The central newscast of Monday, June 10, 2019 was historic, given that it completely renewed its scenery, removing the traditional table, from now on its drivers are standing. This renewal was intended to completely change the aesthetics of Telemundo, but also its essence and the way the news is presented. The journalist Aldo Silva is the one who continues to anchor this newscast but is accompanied by journalists Malena Castaldi and Mariano Lopez, the trio of presenters are divided into different segments, accompanied by columnists who participate to develop the most relevant topics of the day.
