Informativos Telecinco

When Telecinco began as a private television network in 1990, it decided to enhance its character as entertainment and fun television at the expense of its informative aspect. About two months after the debut the network decided to begin its newscasts.{{cite news|title=Tele 5 comenzará a emitir sus informativos antes de mayo|url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1990/04/19/156.html|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=ABC|date=19 April 1990}}

Valerio Lazarov, then the director of the network, hired Luis Mariñas (then one of the presenters of TVE's Telediario) as news director and, on 3 May 1990, started a 15-minutes late-night newscast titled Entre hoy y mañana ("between today and tomorrow").{{cite news|title=Tele 5 comenzará y a emitir informativos a finales de mes, dirigidos por Luis Mariñas|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/MARINAS/_LUIS/ESPANA/TELE_5/Tele/comenzara/emitir/informativos/finales/mes/dirigidos/Luis/Marinas/elpepirtv/19900315elpepirtv_4/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=15 March 1990}}

On 8 September 1990, the newscast started broadcasting on weekends and in the following two years the sole newscast of the network began surpassing in ratings the iconic Telediario (then presented by Matías Prats) and Antena 3 Noticias (then presented by José María Carrascal).{{cite news|title=El informativo nocturno de Tele 5 supera en audiencia al de TVE|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/ESPANA/TELE_5/TELEVISION_ESPANOLA_/RTVE/informativo/nocturno/Tele/supera/audiencia/TVE/elpepirtv/19901108elpepirtv_3/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=8 November 1990}}

On 6 July 1992, Telecinco premiered its midday newscast titled Hoy ("Today") presented by Mariñas, while Julio Fernández began presenting Entre hoy y mañana and Felipe Mellizo debuted on the weekend newscast.{{cite news|title=Luis Mariñas estrena hoy en Tele 5 la edición de sobremesa del informativo 'Entre hoy y mañana'|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/MARINAS/_LUIS/ESPANA/TELE_5/Luis/Marinas/estrena/hoy/Tele/edicion/sobremesa/informativo/hoy/manana/elpepirtv/19920706elpepirtv_2/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=6 July 1992}}

In April 1993, there was a major revamp of Telecinco news services. To extend the length, all newscasts were retitled as Las Noticias ("The News").{{cite news|title=Tele 5 potencia sus informativos y prepara un nuevo espacio de actualidad|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/MARINAS/_LUIS/ESPANA/TELE_5/Tele/potencia/informativos/prepara/nuevo/espacio/actualidad/elpepirtv/19930402elpepirtv_1/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=2 April 1993}}

Miguel Ángel Aguilar replaced Felipe Mellizo on weekends,{{cite news|title=Miguel Angel Aguilar se incorpora a los informativos de fin de semana de Tele 5|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/ESPANA/TELE_5/Miguel/Angel/Aguilar/incorpora/informativos/fin/semana/Tele/elpepirtv/19921114elpepirtv_2/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=14 November 1992}} later Luis Mariñas moved to the evening newscast while Carmen Tomás began anchoring on middays.

During the 1994–95 season, Luis Mariñas stayed in the evening newscast, Tomás on middays while Fernando Ónega debuted on the late-night newscast. José Ribagorda and María José Sáez presented at weekends.{{cite news|title=Lazarov asegura que los informativos serán la columna vertebral de Tele 5|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/LAZAROV/_VALERIO/ESPANA/TELE_5/Lazarov/asegura/informativos/seran/columna/vertebral/Tele/elpepirtv/19940917elpepirtv_1/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=17 September 1994}}

During the following season, Tomás resigned, Ónega moved to middays, Mariñas again moved to evenings while Ribagorda and J. J. Santos began presenting the overnight bulletins.{{cite news|title=Tele 5 reestructura sus informativos|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/MARINAS/_LUIS/ESPANA/TELE_5/Tele/reestructura/informativos/elpepirtv/19950802elpepirtv_1/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=2 August 1995}}

In the 1996–97 season, Tomás and Andrés Aberasturi moved to weekends. Iñaki Gabilondo, the former head of news services on TVE, began a daily interview section on the evening edition. In January 1997, Telecinco started another major revamp. Miguel Ángel Aguilar left the network, being replaced by Carlos Carnicero. Ónega moved to Antena 3 and both Ribagorda and Santos moved to TVE.{{cite news|title=Un nuevo equipo informativo arropa a Mariñas en Tele 5|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/MARINAS/_LUIS/ESPANA/TELE_5/nuevo/equipo/informativo/arropa/Marinas/Tele/elpepirtv/19970307elpepirtv_5/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=7 March 1997}} Juan Ramón Lucas and Montserrat Domínguez debuted on the 14:30 edition, Mariñas stayed on the 20:30 edition and Juan Pedro Valentín moved to the overnight edition in March 1997. Weekend newscasts were presented by Ángels Barceló.{{cite news|title=Tele 5 estrenó ayer el cambio de imagen de sus informativos|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/ESPANA/TELE_5/Tele/estreno/ayer/cambio/imagen/informativos/elpepirtv/19970304elpepirtv_13/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=4 March 1997}}

In September 1997, coinciding with the makeover of the network, the generic title Informativos Telecinco was adopted, but Las Noticias and Entre hoy y mañana maintained their titles. Mariñas left the network shortly after, being replaced by Juan Ramón Lucas.{{cite news|title=Juan Ramón Lucas, sustituto de Luis Mariñas en 'Las noticias'|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/MARINAS/_LUIS/ESPANA/TELE_5/Juan/Ramon/Lucas/sustituto/Luis/Marinas/noticias/elpepirtv/19970903elpepirtv_2/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=3 September 1997}} Valentín stayed on the overnights while Montserrat Domínguez moved to weekends. Later Domínguez moved to overnights and Fermín Bocos debuted on weekends. During this season Telecinco premiered the morning newsmagazine La mirada crítica, hosted by Vicente Vallés, and the morning newscast presented by Gloria Serra and Juan Antonio Villanueva

Informativos Telecinco took away the individual names of each edition. In September 1998, the midday, evening and weekend newscasts appeared with a new set, while the overnight and morning editions came from a set in the Telecinco's newsroom. During this season all presenters remained in their respective posts. In February 1999, Vicente Vallés and Ángeles Blanco replaced Fermín Bocos on weekends.{{cite news|title=Tele 5 introduce cambios en varios de sus informativos|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/VALLES/_VICENTE_/TV/BLANCO/_ANGELES_/PRESENTADORA/ESPANA/TELE_5/Tele/introduce/cambios/varios/informativos/elpepirtv/19990226elpepirtv_4/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=6 February 1999}} In September 2000, Juan Pedro Valentín was hired as head of the news services of Telecinco. In February 2001, Montserrat Domínguez debuted as host of La mirada crítica. In July 2001, Lucas left the network and moved to Antena 3.

Telecinco opted to have an individual presenter on all editions and a co-presenter to explain the news that was presented. Hilario Pino, coming from CNN+, debuted on the midday edition along with Carme Chaparro. Barceló and Agustín Hernández debuted on the evening edition.{{cite news|title=Las cadenas libran una batalla de sol a sol|url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/2001/09/02/075.html|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=ABC|date=2 September 2001}} Weekend editions were presented by Ángeles Blanco and Fernando Olmeda. Màxim Huerta took over the midnight edition while Rafa Fernández and Ana Rodríguez presented in the mornings.

In September 2004, Begoña Chamorro replaced Chaparro, the latter replaced Blanco on weekends. José Luis Fuentecilla joined the morning newscast along with Màxim Huerta.

One year later, Barceló and Montserrat Domínguez both left Telecinco. Juan Pedro Valentín temporarily replaced Barceló with Alejandra Herranz and Blanco. Álvaro Rivas and Lucía Rodil took over the mornings. Ana Rodríguez worked on overnights and Vicente Vallés returned to La mirada crítica.{{cite news|title=Tele 5 renueva las caras de sus informativos|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/Tele/renueva/caras/informativos/elpepirtv/20050916elpepirtv_2/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=16 September 2005}}

Poor ratings performances of the evening edition caused the network to cut it 25 minutes and moved it to 21:00, putting it in direct competition with its rival networks. Valentín remained as sole presenter of this edition but the poor ratings continued. In January 2006, Valentín was fired and Pedro Piqueras was hired as new head of the news services.{{cite news|title=Telecinco apuesta por Pedro Piqueras en sus informativos para subir la audiencia|url=http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/84863/l/piqueras/valentin/telecinco/|accessdate=20 April 2014|date=25 January 2006}}

With Piqueras (coming from RNE) as new director of news services, Telecinco began climbing in the ratings. Hilario Pino remained as sole presenter on middays and Piqueras took over the evening editions. José Ribagorda returned to the network to present the weekend editions with Carme Chaparro. Agustín Hernández joined Lucía Rodil on the morning newscast.

The long medical leave of Pino was covered temporarily by Begoña Chamorro and then by Ángeles Blanco. In September 2006, Yolanda Benítez replaced Rodil in the mornings. During this season, the weekend midday edition was moved to 15:00 hours and reduced in duration. In September 2007, Blanco began presenting and directing the morning edition with Daniel Gómez. In December 2007, the weekday midday edition was also reduced and moved to 15:00 and Marta Fernández began presenting it.

Again, bad rating performances on the midday edition caused it to be moved again to the 14:30 slot beginning in September 2008. Vicente Vallés left La mirada crítica and was replaced by María Teresa Campos. Yolanda Benítez was her substitute during her medical leave. A major move of presenters occurred in September 2009: Pedro Piqueras moved to the midday newscast, José Ribagorda moved to the evening edition with Marta Fernández and J. J. Santos as sports presenter, Carme Chaparro remained as sole anchor on weekends and a new 0800 newscast presented by Pino began in that season, following the cancellation of La mirada crítica.{{cite news|title=Baile de presentadores en Telecinco|url=http://www.elpais.com/articulo/Pantallas/Baile/rostros/Telecinco/elpepurtv/20090801elpepirtv_2/Tes|accessdate=20 April 2014|newspaper=El País|date=1 August 2009}}

A year later former, the Telediario presenter David Cantero joined the network, causing another major move of presentes, with Pino in the mornings, David Cantero and Marta Fernández at midday (with Sara Carbonero as sports presenter). Pedro Piqueras returned to the evening edition while Chaparro and Ribagorda remained on weekends.

Following the fusion on Telecinco and Cuatro in January 2011, Pino moved to the noon edition of Noticias Cuatro and Concha García Campoy replaced him. In July 2011, Isabel Jiménez joined Cantero on the midday edition and a month later Leticia Iglesias debuted on the morning edition and in December began as sole presenter after the García Campoy's medical leave. Roberto Fernández and Ane Ibarzabal debuted in the morning editions in June 2013 and, in January 2014, Iglesias joined the latter edition.

From the middle of 2023, new Mediaset news director Francisco Moreno García had hinted that Informativos Telecinco would receive a makeover in the early part of 2024. In July of that year, Piqueras had announced his retirement from journalism in December, and presented his last edition on 21 December, which received a 10.7% share but lagged behind both Antena 3 and La 1.{{Cite web |last=Redacción |date=2023-12-22 |title=La final de 'GH VIP 8' (15,2%) es la menos vista con diferencia y 'Cristo y Rey' se despide con un 11,9% |url=https://www.formulatv.com/noticias/audiencias-21-diciembre-final-gh-vip-cristo-y-rey-125931/ |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=FormulaTV |language=es}} His replacement in November was confirmed to be Carlos Franganillo, jumping ship from Telediario.

La mirada crítica returned, now presented by Ana Terradillos, in September 2023, and continued to received respectable daytime ratings. Franganillo's debut was accompanied by a new, dark blue set and title sequence, with a lighter version at 3pm. Franganillo's debut was Telecinco's best news performance for 11 months, beating La 1, and Franganillo's 9pm newscast beats his former network in the ratings more often than not.{{Cite web |last=Redacción |date=2024-01-16 |title=Gran estreno de 'Planeta Calleja' (9,2%) frente al pinchazo de 'Mejor generación' (6,5%) y 'Bake Off' (9,9%) |url=https://www.formulatv.com/noticias/audiencias-lunes-15-enero-estreno-planeta-calleja-126250/ |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=FormulaTV |language=es}} In February, as revealed by Mediaset in October 2023, Noticias Cuatro returned after a five-year break, but was trounced by LaSexta in the ratings on its first night.{{Cite web |last=Redacción |date=2024-01-30 |title='El pueblo' (9,7%) eleva a Telecinco, pero no puede con 'Bake Off' (10,5%) y 'Hermanos' (13,5%) |url=https://www.formulatv.com/noticias/audiencias-lunes-29-enero-el-pueblo-hermanos-126473/ |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=FormulaTV |language=es}}

As part of the shake-up, David Cantero and Leticia Iglesias moved to join José Ribagorda at weekends, replacing Ángeles Blanco, who swapped to the 3pm broadcast.
