TeleXitos is an American

television network owned by NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, a subsidiary of the NBCUniversal Filmed and Entertainment division of NBCUniversal, itself a division of Comcast. Aimed at the Hispanic and Latin American community, the network aired a mix of dramatic television series from the 1970s to the 2000s and movies, before changing to a near simulcast of Universo programming in the mid-2020s. All programming consists of shows dubbed into Spanish.[1]

History

Telenovela format as Éxitos TV

Original logo as Exitos TV, used from January 28, 2012, to November 30, 2014. Exitos TV used as screen bug until December 1, 2015.

The network traces its origins to Éxitos TV, a digital multicast network launched by Telemundo Station Group on January 28, 2012; Éxitos primarily focused on reruns of telenovelas from the 1990s and 2000s that were previously broadcast on sister network Telemundo. The network was initially launched on the digital subchannels of Telemundo's owned-and-operated stations.

Relaunch as TeleXitos

On December 1, 2014, the Telemundo Station Group renamed Éxitos to TeleXitos. The new format of the network would shift to focus on Spanish-dubbed reruns of drama and action series from the 1970s to the early 2000s, which in effect made the network a companion service with sister network

Retro Television Network – with TeleXitos becoming the first Spanish language network in the U.S. to focus on classic television programs. Telemundo Station Group chose to change the network's format in response to research illustrating the limited availability of action and adventure programs in Spanish. Barbara Alfonso, who previously served as programming and community marketing manager at NBC's Miami owned-and-operated station WTVJ, was appointed as director of network operations, handling responsibility of programming acquisitions, national advertising sales and digital operations.[2][3][4]

Programming

TeleXitos' programming focused primarily on action and adventure series and feature films from the 1970s to the 2000s, aimed primarily at males between the ages of 25 and 54 years old, before its transition to a near simulcast of Universo.

Affiliates

As of September 2015, TeleXitos has current or pending affiliation agreements with television stations in 17 media markets encompassing 10 states (including stations in eight of the ten largest Nielsen markets), covering 27% of the United States.[9]

NBCUniversal currently broadcasts TeleXitos in most markets served by a station owned by the NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations group, either on subchannels of its Telemundo and NBC owned-and-operated stations. The network is also available on the digital subchannels of other television stations, primarily those affiliated with Telemundo.[1][3] The network is available to stations on a barter basis, in which TeleXitos and its affiliates split the responsibility of selling advertising inventory as well as the commercial time allocated each hour.

The network initially launched in markets reaching approximately 20 million American households with at least one television set, as well as more than 4.5 million households with Latino and Hispanic residents. Telemundo Station Group immediately sought carriage of the network on the digital subchannels of television stations owned by other broadcasting companies (such as

Comcast Xfinity's Miami and West Palm Beach systems on digital channel 229.[2][5]
