Telemundo

Founded by Angel Ramos in the early 1950's in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Telemundo is an international media network with a conglomerate of Spanish-language television channels as its base. Much of its shows are imported from Mexico and other Latin American countries such as Brazil and Colombia. Mexican TV broadcaster TV Azteca has been the main provider of Mexican telenovelas produced by Producciones Argos. Now separated from TV Azteca (because they launched a Spanish language network), Argos has produced telenovelas directly for Telemundo.
