'''''Las Noticias TeleOnce''''' is the flagship news program for Puerto Rican television network [[WLII-DT|TeleOnce]]. It is currently anchored by Celimar Adames Casalduc during its evening editions, Maricarmen Ortiz and Manuel Crespo Feliciano during the day editions and by Shirlyan Odette during its night edition.

The news program originated in 1986 and ran four editions weekdays and two on weekends until its abrupt cancellation in 2014 by [[TelevisaUnivision|Univision]] who decided to close the station's news department. In 2020, Univision sold TeleOnce to Liberman Media Group and the new ownership quickly reopened the station's news department and revived ''Las Noticias''.

==History==

=== Las Noticias TeleOnce (1986–2002)===
News programming on WLII began in May 1986, with [[Ramón Enrique Torres]] and [[Jennifer Wolff]] as anchors of the 5:00&nbsp;p.m. newscast. In 1990, a noon newscast premiered with Torres and Margarita Aponte as its anchors, followed by the 10:30&nbsp;p.m. newscast with Torres. On March 11, 1991, a weekday morning news program, ''[[Tu Mañana]]'', made its debut; the program was anchored by Carlos Ochoteco and [[Cyd Marie Fleming]] and featured segments such as panels of experts on different topics.

Over the years, many people worked on ''Tu Mañana'' and ''Las Noticias''. Reporters such as [[Carmen Dominicci]], [[Elwood Cruz]], [[Susan Soltero]], Bruni Torres, Nuria Sebazco, Rommy Segarra, Felipe Gómez (now at WAPA-TV), Ada Monzón (now at WAPA-TV), and Liza Lugo have been featured.

In 1996, a monthly investigative/tabloid newsmagazine called ''Las Noticias Xtra'' began airing, which offered reports considered to be shocking by audiences. Taboo themes in Puerto Rican society such as [[homosexuality]] were featured. ''Las Noticias Xtra'' eventually was reduced to a weekly segment seen during the 6:00 and 11:00&nbsp;p.m. newscasts. During WLII's TeleOnce years, the station's slogan was "{{Lang|es|TeleOnce: 24 horas el canal de Las Noticias|italic=no}}" ({{Lit|TeleOnce, the 24-hour news channel}}), paralleling the 24-hour news source trend in the United States at the time.

=== Las Noticias Univision (2002–2014) ===

After the Univision integration in 2002, ''Las Noticias'' became ''Las Noticias Univision'' and acquired the branding of all other Univision O&O stations news broadcasts. WLII began broadcasting its local newscasts in [[high-definition television|high definition]] on September 26, 2010. Due to budget cuts that were imposed by Univision in Miami, WLII reduced its news department by between 20 and 50 employees, and ''Las Noticias a las 6'' was reduced from 60 to 30 minutes. The station discontinued its weekend newscasts on January 5, 2014;<ref name=mm-wliinoweekendnews>{{cite news|last=Villafañe|first=Veronica|title=Univision Puerto Rico cancels 4 weekend newscasts|url=http://www.mediamoves.com/2014/01/univision-puerto-rico-cancels-4-weekend-newscasts.html|access-date=October 19, 2014|work=Media Moves|date=January 6, 2014|archive-date=October 19, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019203705/http://www.mediamoves.com/2014/01/univision-puerto-rico-cancels-4-weekend-newscasts.html|url-status=live}}</ref> following this, it reduced its news operation from {{Frac|35|1|2}} to {{Frac|32|1|2}} hours each week, which led to the firing of 19 employees.

On October 17, 2014, Univision announced that Jaime Bauzá had been promoted to senior vice-president and general manager of all of the network's operations in Puerto Rico. The first change he made was the firing of 109 employees. This caused the closing of the entire news department, including reporters, anchors, and cameramen. On that day, the morning show ''Tu Mañana'' was shown as normal, but the midday show ''Tu Mediodia'' was not, during which time reporter Daisy Sánchez published on her [[Twitter]] account the announcement of the news department's closing.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.msn.com/es-us/noticias/national/despido-masivo-y-cierre-de-operaciones-de-univision-en-puerto-rico/ar-BB9ILyw|title=Despido masivo y cierre de operaciones de Univision en Puerto Rico|work=MSN En Español|access-date=October 18, 2014|archive-date=October 19, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019062812/http://www.msn.com/es-us/noticias/national/despido-masivo-y-cierre-de-operaciones-de-univision-en-puerto-rico/ar-BB9ILyw|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.primerahora.com/entretenimiento/cine-tv/notas/empleados-de-univision-puerto-rico-denuncian-cierre-del-canal/|title=Empleados de Univisión Puerto Rico denuncian cierre del canal|work=Primera Hora|date=October 17, 2014|access-date=October 17, 2014|archive-date=December 14, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221214041858/https://www.primerahora.com/entretenimiento/cine-tv/notas/empleados-de-univision-puerto-rico-denuncian-cierre-del-canal/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://dialogo.upr.edu/univision-puerto-rico-cierra-departamento-de-noticias/|title=Univisión Puerto Rico cierra su Departamento de Noticias|work=Dialogo.UPR|access-date=October 17, 2014|archive-date=September 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210919021015/https://dialogo.upr.edu/univision-puerto-rico-cierra-departamento-de-noticias/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lainformacion.com/economia-negocios-y-finanzas/univision-cierra-sus-informativos-en-puerto-rico-y-despide-a-99-empleados_QlUBeKT4xv2WdQlEVnrit4/|title=Univisión cierra sus informativos en Puerto Rico y despide a 99 empleados|work=La Información|date=October 17, 2014|access-date=October 17, 2014|archive-date=December 14, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221214041900/https://www.lainformacion.com/economia-negocios-y-finanzas/univision-cierra-sus-informativos-en-puerto-rico-y-despide-a-99-empleados_QlUBeKT4xv2WdQlEVnrit4/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://lacallerevista.com/locales/cierra-univision-puerto-rico-practicamente-todos-sus-departamentos/21501|title=Cierra Univisión Puerto Rico "prácticamente todos sus departamentos"|work=La Calle Revista|access-date=October 17, 2014|archive-date=October 21, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141021001840/http://lacallerevista.com/locales/cierra-univision-puerto-rico-practicamente-todos-sus-departamentos/21501|url-status=live}}</ref>

The roundtable talk show ''Rubén & Co.'' replaced the 5:00&nbsp;p.m. spot left by ''Las Noticias''. The show was extended from 30 to 60 minutes, and filled the 5:00&nbsp;p.m. timeslot until its cancellation on January 20, 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metro.pr/pr/noticias/2015/12/17/fuera-del-aire-ruben-co.html|title=Fuera del aire "Rubén & Co."|work=Metro|access-date=January 19, 2021|archive-date=January 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128155635/https://www.metro.pr/pr/noticias/2015/12/17/fuera-del-aire-ruben-co.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On October 4, 2021, ''Las Noticias'' added a political analysis team composed of former Puerto Rican Governor [[Anibal Acevedo Vila]], former gubernatorial candidate [[Alexandra Lúgaro]], journalist and ''Jugando Pelota Dura'' contributor Leo Aldridge, and lawyer Ramón Rosario Cortés.
