TELEMUNDO ATLANTA CELEBRATES A DECADE OF UNSTOPPABLE GROWTH AND IMPACT

ATLANTA, Georgia (Telemundo Atlanta) - Telemundo Atlanta marked their 10 year Anniversary by holding a private cocktail reception followed by a night at the opera with long-time clients, community partners, and team members.  The milestone celebration took place on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center where the Atlanta Opera’s highly acclaimed production of Frida was showcased to a full house.

Telemundo Atlanta officially launched as a local station in the Atlanta DMA in 2009 and relaunched as the New Telemundo Atlanta in 2013 with a local newscast, more expansive full power coverage area, and the hire of a general manager.  It was at the relaunch event on May 2, 2013 that predicted Telemundo Atlanta would not only be the New Telemundo Atlanta, but that it would be number one.

“What a great achievement for Telemundo to be the number one Spanish Network in primetime for three consecutive years. It takes great effort from a national and local level to pull off such unstoppable growth,” said general manager, Ivan Shammas.

“Telemundo Atlanta is elated to celebrate the exponential growth over the last ten years in primetime ratings, digital capabilities, news offerings and overall impact in the community through signature events and powerful community partnerships. All of this success was possible because we had the unwavering support of our clients, community partners, staff and Telemundo Network,” said managing partner, Susan Sim Oh.
