Telemundo Puerto Rico is one of Puerto Rico's most popular TV channels.
Telemundo, channel 2 on Puerto Rico's television dial and also known as WKAQ-TV, has been in existence since 1954, the year when television services began in Puerto Rico. The station was founded by Angel Ramos, the owner of "El Mundo" newspaper. Before the 1990s, Telemundo Puerto Rico was known plainly as Telemundo Canal 2. But, with Telemundo International's move of naming each of its branches after the countries which they are located in, Telemundo Canal 2 became Telemundo Puerto Rico. During the 1970s and 1980s, Telemundo Canal 2 was a major producer of Puerto Rican Spanish soap operas.
During most of the 1980s, according to Mediafax, (a Puerto Rico study that is the Puerto Rican version of the Nielsen ratings), Telemundo Puerto Rico was the most viewed channel in Puerto Rico. One of the most important producers at Telemundo Puerto Rico is Paquito Cordero, who has been since 1954 at the channel, both as actor and producer. Telemundo Puerto Rico's main competitors are Televicentro and WLII-TV ("Univision Puerto Rico", formerly Tele Once).
One of Telemundo Puerto Rico's main slogans during the 1980s was : Y como el dos no hay dos! (There's no two like channel two).
