NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises Unveils New Studio

CANNES: NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises has set up Telemundo International Studios (TIS), a new internationally focused production unit dedicated to creating high-end, short-form, scripted formats.

Led by Marcos Santana, the president of Telemundo International, the new unit will work to develop and produce innovative Spanish-language short-format content. Santana collaborated in the creation of Telemundo Studios and has been part of its development committee since its inception.

“Telemundo International Studios will tap into an international growth opportunity at a time when Telemundo is delivering unprecedented ratings performance and has established itself as the number one Spanish-language broadcast network in prime time in the U.S.,” said Cesar Conde, the chairman of NBCUniversal International Group and NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises. “With this new production unit, we will continue to innovate and raise the bar in original Spanish-language content production in the U.S. and abroad.”

Santana added, “The launch of Telemundo Internacional Studios is a representation of the growth of our division, which further develops the expansion of our offer, increasing our catalog and distribution opportunities for markets and platforms that demand programming for a well-defined audience with established consumption habits. I am excited and feel privileged to work on this new project, from its conception, with Cesar Conde, and with the support of Comcast NBCUniversal.”
